Clients package

Packages contained by this package provide client libraries for accessing the ecosystem of Kin services. At present, it only contains a simple horizon client library, but in the future it will contain clients to interact with core, and more.

See godoc for details about each package.

Adding new client packages

Ideally, each one of our client packages will have commonalities in their API to ease the cost of learning each. It's recommended that we follow a pattern similar to the net/http package's client shape:

A type, Client, is the central type of any client package, and its methods should provide the bulk of the functionality for the package. A DefaultClient var is provided for consumers that don't need client-level customization of behavior. Each method on the Client type should have a corresponding func at the package level that proxies a call through to the default client. For example, http.Get() is the equivalent of http.DefaultClient.Get().
