Resource View Client Libraries

The Resource Views API is built on HTTP and JSON, so any standard HTTP client can send requests to it and parse the responses.

However, instead of creating HTTP requests and parsing responses manually, you may want to use client libraries to do so. Client libraries provide better language integration, improved security, and support for making calls that require user authorization.

You can use the Resource View API through a number of Google-provided libraries.
