# Overview
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
continue your journey:
# Prometheus Go client library
1. See the [exposition library](prometheus/README.md) if you want to
export metrics to a Prometheus server or pushgateway
[![Build Status](https://travis-ci.org/prometheus/client_golang.svg?branch=master)](https://travis-ci.org/prometheus/client_golang) [![code-coverage](http://gocover.io/_badge/github.com/prometheus/client_golang/prometheus)](http://gocover.io/github.com/prometheus/client_golang/prometheus) [![go-doc](https://godoc.org/github.com/prometheus/client_golang/prometheus?status.svg)](https://godoc.org/github.com/prometheus/client_golang/prometheus)
2. See the [consumption library](https://godoc.org/github.com/prometheus/client_golang/extraction) if you want to
process metrics exported by a Prometheus client. (The Prometheus server
is using that library.)
This is the [Go](http://golang.org) client library for
[Prometheus](http://www.prometheus.io).
[![GoDoc](https://godoc.org/github.com/prometheus/client_golang?status.png)](https://godoc.org/github.com/prometheus/client_golang)
## Instrumenting applications
# 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).
* All of the core developers are accessible via the [Prometheus Developers Mailinglist](https://groups.google.com/forum/?fromgroups#!forum/prometheus-developers).
## Consuming exported metrics
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.)
