An idiomatic C++ client library for the Connectors API, a service that enables users to create and manage connections to Google Cloud services and third-party business applications.
While this library is GA, please note that the Google Cloud C++ client libraries do not follow Semantic Versioning.
Quickstart
The following shows the code that you'll run in the google/cloud/connectors/quickstart/ directory, which should give you a taste of the Connectors API C++ client library API.
The main class in this library is connectors_v1::ConnectorsClient. All RPCs are exposed as member functions of this class. Other classes provide helpers, configuration parameters, and infrastructure to mock connectors_v1::ConnectorsClient when testing your application.
