PrefixedChecksummedBytes (bitcoinj-core 0.16.2 API)

java.lang.Object
- org.bitcoinj.core.PrefixedChecksummedBytes

All Implemented Interfaces:

java.io.Serializable, java.lang.Cloneable

Direct Known Subclasses:

Address, BIP38PrivateKey, DumpedPrivateKey
```
public abstract class PrefixedChecksummedBytes
extends java.lang.Object
implements java.io.Serializable, java.lang.Cloneable
```
The following format is often used to represent some type of data (e.g. key or hash of key):
```
 [prefix] [data bytes] [checksum]
 
```
and the result is then encoded with some variant of base. This format is most commonly used for addresses and private keys exported using Bitcoin Core's dumpprivkey command.
