9 Google API Extensions for Node.js (gax-nodejs) is a set of modules which aids the development of APIs for clients and servers based on [gRPC][grpc] and Google API conventions.
11 Application code will rarely need to use most of the classes within this library directly, but code generated automatically from the API definition files in [Google APIs][googleapis] can use services such as page streaming and request bundling to provide a more convenient and idiomatic API surface to callers.
15 $ npm install google-gax
