Google Cloud Platform C++ Client Libraries

C++ Idiomatic Clients for Google Cloud Platform services.

• Google Cloud Platform Documentation

This library supports the following Google Cloud Platform services with clients at an Alpha quality level:

• Google Cloud Bigtable

The libraries in this code base likely do not (yet) cover all the available APIs. See the googleapis repo for the full list of APIs callable using gRPC.

Quick Start

To build the available libraries and run the tests, run the following commands after cloning this repo:

git submodule init
git submodule update --init --recursive
mkdir build-output
cd build-output
cmake ..
make all
make test

Versioning

This library follows Semantic Versioning. Please note it is currently under active development. Any release versioned 0.x.y is subject to backwards incompatible changes at any time.

GA: Libraries defined at a GA quality level are expected to be stable and all updates in the libraries are guaranteed to be backwards-compatible. Any backwards-incompatible changes will lead to the major version increment (1.x.y -> 2.0.0).

Beta: Libraries defined at a Beta quality level are expected to be mostly stable and we're working towards their release candidate. We will address issues and requests with a higher priority.

Alpha: Libraries defined at an Alpha quality level are still a work-in-progress and are more likely to get backwards-incompatible updates. Additionally, it's possible for Alpha libraries to get deprecated and deleted before ever being promoted to Beta or GA.
