 3Experimental Go implementation of the [Groth16 protocol](https://eprint.iacr.org/2016/260.pdf) zkSNARK prover & verifier compatible with [circom](https://github.com/iden3/circom).

 8### Example
 9
10- Generate Proof
11```go
12import (
13  "github.com/iden3/go-circom-prover-verifier/parsers"
14  "github.com/iden3/go-circom-prover-verifier/prover"
15  "github.com/iden3/go-circom-prover-verifier/verifier"
16)
17
18[...]
19
20// read ProvingKey & Witness files
21provingKeyJson, _ := ioutil.ReadFile("../testdata/small/proving_key.json")
22witnessJson, _ := ioutil.ReadFile("../testdata/small/witness.json")
23
24// parse Proving Key
25pk, _ := parsers.ParsePk(provingKeyJson)
26
27// parse Witness
28w, _ := parsers.ParseWitness(witnessJson)
29
30// generate the proof
31proof, pubSignals, _ := prover.GenerateProof(pk, w)
32
33// print proof & publicSignals
34proofStr, _ := parsers.ProofToJson(proof)
35publicStr, _ := json.Marshal(parsers.ArrayBigIntToString(pubSignals))
36fmt.Println(proofStr)
37fmt.Println(publicStr)
38```
39
40- Verify Proof
41```go
42// read proof & verificationKey & publicSignals
43proofJson, _ := ioutil.ReadFile("../testdata/big/proof.json")
44vkJson, _ := ioutil.ReadFile("../testdata/big/verification_key.json")
45publicJson, _ := ioutil.ReadFile("../testdata/big/public.json")
46
47// parse proof & verificationKey & publicSignals
48public, _ := parsers.ParsePublicSignals(publicJson)
49proof, _ := parsers.ParseProof(proofJson)
50vk, _ := parsers.ParseVk(vkJson)
51
52// verify the proof with the given verificationKey & publicSignals
53v := verifier.Verify(vk, proof, public)
54fmt.Println(v)
55```
