Clients package
Packages here provide client libraries for accessing the ecosystem of Stellar services.
horizonclient
- programmatic client access to Horizon (use in conjunction with txnbuild)stellartoml
- parse Stellar.toml files from the internetfederation
- resolve federation addresses into stellar account IDs, suitable for use within a transactionhorizon
(DEPRECATED) - the original Horizon client, now superceded byhorizonclient
See GoDoc for more details.
For developers: 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()
.
