getAccountInfo
Returns all information associated with the account of the provided public key, including lamports balance, owner program, data content, and executable status. This is the most fundamental read operation on Solana, used by wallets, explorers, and dApps to inspect any on-chain account. It supports multiple encoding formats including jsonParsed for human-readable output of known program accounts such as SPL Token and System accounts.
