You need to change the path to your Ethereum chaindata store, and the block state root in example.js
Run:
> npm install
> node example.js
Example output:
Root exists: true

Each value is an array of 4 elements: nonce, balance, storageRoot, codeHash.
It takes some time to read the database before you can see the keys and values in the trie. Sometimes crashes with out-of-memory.
example-contract-storage.js reads the Patricia trie of a particular contract. You need to change the path to your Ethereum chaindata store, the block state root and the address.
Example output:
Root exists: true

Note that if you use geth version >1.8.0 you need to use --gcmode=archive or else geth will cleanup unused state.
