    From the README

    These are auto-generated Go libraries from the Google Discovery Service's JSON description files.

    Due to the auto-generated nature of this collection of libraries they may contain breaking changes from one release to the next. The generator itself and the code it produces are considered beta for this reason.

    These client libraries are officially supported by Google. However, the libraries are considered complete and are in maintenance mode. This means that we will address critical bugs and security issues but will not add any new features.

    If you're working with Google Cloud Platform APIs such as Datastore or Pub/Sub, please use the Cloud Client Libraries for Go instead. These are the new and idiomatic Go libraries targeted specifically at Google Cloud Platform Services.
