# Google HTTP Client Library for Java

## Description
Written by Google, the Google HTTP Client Library for Java is a flexible, efficient, and powerful Java library for accessing any resource on the web via HTTP. The library has the following features:
- Pluggable HTTP transport abstraction that allows you to use any low-level library such as java.net.HttpURLConnection, Apache HTTP Client, or URL Fetch on Google App Engine.
- Efficient JSON and XML data models for parsing and serialization of HTTP response and request content. The JSON and XML libraries are also fully pluggable, and they include support for [Jackson](https://github.com/FasterXML/jackson) and Android's GSON libraries for JSON.

The library supports the following Java environments:
- Java 5 (or higher), standard (SE) and enterprise (EE)
- Android Android 1.5 (or higher)
- GoogleAppEngine Google App Engine

The following related projects are built on the Google HTTP Client Library for Java:
- [Google OAuth Client Library for Java](http://code.google.com/p/google-oauth-java-client/), for the OAuth 2.0 and OAuth 1.0a authorization standards.
- [Google APIs Client Library for Java](http://code.google.com/p/google-api-java-client/), for access to Google APIs.

This is an open-source library, and [contributions](https://code.google.com/p/google-http-java-client/wiki/BecomingAContributor) are welcome.
