# Google API Extensions for Node.js [![Release Level][releaselevelimg]][releaselevel] [![npm version][npmimg]][npm] [![Code Coverage][codecovimg]][codecov] 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. 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. ## Installation ```sh $ npm install google-gax ``` ## Contributing Contributions to this library are always welcome and highly encouraged. See the [CONTRIBUTING][contributing] documentation for more information on how to get started. ## Details For detailed documentation of the modules in gax-nodejs, please check out the [docs][docs]. ## License BSD - See [LICENSE][license] for more information.
