An idiomatic C++ client library for theCloud Domains API, a service to enable management and configuration of domain names.
While this library isGA, please note that the Google Cloud C++ client libraries donotfollowSemantic Versioning.
Quickstart
The following shows the code that you'll run in thegoogle/cloud/domains/quickstart/directory, which should give you a taste of the Cloud Domains API C++ client library API.
The main class in this library isdomains_v1::DomainsClient. All RPCs are exposed as member functions of this class. Other classes provide helpers, configuration parameters, and infrastructure to mockdomains_v1::DomainsClientwhen testing your application.
Retry, Backoff, and Idempotency Policies.
The library automatically retries requests that fail with transient errors, and usesexponential backoffto backoff between retries. Application developers can override the default policies.
