The JSON-RPC API provided by zebrad, the Zcash Foundation's independent Zcash full node implementation written in Rust. Designed to be a drop-in replacement for zcashd's RPC interface as zcashd is deprecated. Supports the standard Zcash RPC method set and lightwalletd backends. Uses cookie-based authentication by default from v2.0.0.
