# Overview

# Prometheus Go client library
|
||||||
This is the [Prometheus](http://www.prometheus.io)
|
|
||||||
[Go](http://golang.org) client library. It provides several distinct
|
|
||||||
functions, and there is separate documentation for each respective
|
|
||||||
component. You will want to select the appropriate topic below to

# Getting Started
|
For instrumenting your Go application code with Prometheus metrics, see the
|
||||||
|
[documentation of the exposition client](https://godoc.org/github.com/prometheus/client_golang/prometheus).
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
* The source code is periodically indexed: [Go Exposition Client](http://godoc.org/github.com/prometheus/client_golang).
|
## Consuming exported metrics
|
||||||
* All of the core developers are accessible via the [Prometheus Developers Mailinglist](https://groups.google.com/forum/?fromgroups#!forum/prometheus-developers).
|
|
||||||
|
If you want to process metrics exported by a Prometheus client, see the
|
||||||
|
[consumption library documentation](https://godoc.org/github.com/prometheus/client_golang/extraction).
|
||||||
|
(The Prometheus server is using that library.)
