The Cloud Client Libraries are the recommended way to access Google Cloud APIs
programmatically. The Cloud Client Libraries support accessing
Google Cloud services in a way that significantly reduces the
boilerplate code you have to write. The libraries provide high-level API
abstractions so they're easier to understand. They embrace idioms of
the language, work well with the standard library, and integrate better with
your codebase.
