The Google APIs Client Library for C++ provides access to many Google APIs. It is designed for C++ client-application developers wanting to interact with services running on the Google Cloud Platform. It can be used at different levels of abstraction making it suitable to use for talking over HTTP to other service providers as well.

The Google APIs Client Library for C++ is packaged as a software development kit (SDK) with several types of parts:

Open Source native C++ libraries that provide a foundation for interacting with standard HTTP servers such as those used by the Google Cloud Platform.
A code generator that produces custom C++ APIs for individual service APIs. These include all Google APIs as well as Google Cloud Endpoints.
Code samples and documentation to help you make the most of it.
