Golang Client
stackforge/golang-client is yet another implementation of [OpenStack] (http://www.openstack.org/) API client in Go language. The code follows OpenStack licensing and borrows its infrastructure for code hosting. It currently implements [Identity Service v2] (http://docs.openstack.org/api/openstack-identity-service/2.0/content/) and [Object Storage v1] (http://docs.openstack.org/api/openstack-object-storage/1.0/content/). Some API calls are not implemented initially, but the intention is to expand the lib over time (where pragmatic).
Code maturity is considered experimental.
Installation
Use go get. Or alternatively, download or clone the repository.
The lib was developed and tested on go 1.0.3 and 1.1.1, but maintenance has moved to 1.1.1 only. No external dependencies, so far.
Usage
The *_integration_test.go files show usage examples for using the lib to connect
to live OpenStack service. The documentation follows golang documentation
convention: go doc. Here is a short example code snippet:
auth, err := identity.AuthUserNameTenantId(identityHost,
userName, password, tenantId)
...
httpHdr, err := objectstorage.GetAccountMeta(objectstorageHost,
auth.Access.Token.Id)
Testing
There are two types of test files. The *_test.go are standard
golang unit test files. The *_integration_test.go are
test files that require an active OpenStack service account before
you can properly test. If you do not have an account,
then running go test on the *_integration_test.go files will fail.
If you already have an account, please read
identity/identitytest/setupUser.go on how to set up the JSON data file so
you can authenticate to the OpenStack service. If you do not have an account,
please change the file extension to something that golang compiler will
ignore to avoid fails.
The tests were written against the [OpenStack API specifications] (http://docs.openstack.org/api/api-specs.html). The integration test were successful against the following:
If you use another provider and successfully completed the tests, please email the maintainer(s) so your service can be mentioned here. Alternatively, if you are a service provider and can arrange a free (temporary) account, a quick test can be arranged.

Coding Style
The source code is automatically formatted to follow go fmt by the [IDE]
(https://code.google.com/p/liteide/). And where pragmatic, the source code
follows this general [coding style]
(http://slamet.neocities.org/coding-style.html).
