CandidatesToMap converts a candidate list to map of cachedCandidates.

Deserialize check if input is Deserializer, if it is, use the input's Deserialize method, otherwise use Gob.

EmptyAccount returns an empty account.

MapToCandidates converts a map of cachedCandidates to candidate list.

Serialize check if input is Serializer, if it is, use the input's Serialize method, otherwise use Gob.

ErrAccountCollision is the error that the account already exists.

ErrCandidate indicates the error of candidate.

ErrCandidateList indicates the error of candidate list.

ErrCandidateMap indicates the error of candidate map.

ErrCandidatePb indicates the error of protobuf's candidate message.

ErrNotEnoughBalance is the error that the balance is not enough.

ErrStateDeserialization is the error that the state un-marshaling is failed.

ErrStateNotExist is the error that the state does not exist.

ErrStateSerialization is the error that the state marshaling is failed.

Account is the canonical representation of an account.

Candidate indicates the structure of a candidate.

Deserializer has Deserialize method to deserialize binary data to struct.

Serializer has Serialize method to serialize struct to binary data.

State is the interface, which defines the common methods for state struct to be handled by state factory.

CandidateList indicates the list of Candidates which is sortable.
