How to read a transaction ?

+1 vote

Is there a glossary we can refer to for understanding the different data being present in a transaction ? I just wanted to see a transaction's contents and there were alot of terminologies in it, like vout, scriptpubkey, vin, type, asm and many other terms. Many of which were confusing and hard to decipher.

Is there a resource where we can refer to what each of these terms mean ?

MultiChain uses an extension of the bitcoin transaction format, so you should get started by reading documentation about what all these fields mean in bitcoin transaction descriptions:
