+//! This crate is used for emitting blockchain data from the `bitcoind` RPC interface (excluding the
+//! RPC wallet API).
+//!
+//! [`Emitter`] is the main structure which sources blockchain data from [`bitcoincore_rpc::Client`].
+//!
+//! To only get block updates (exclude mempool transactions), the caller can use
+//! [`Emitter::next_block`] or/and [`Emitter::next_header`] until it returns `Ok(None)` (which means
+//! the chain tip is reached). A separate method, [`Emitter::mempool`] can be used to emit the whole
+//! mempool.
