# govmomi
A Go library for interacting with VMware vSphere APIs (ESXi and/or vCenter).
In addition to the vSphere API client, this repository includes:
* [govc](./govc) - vSphere CLI
* [vcsim](./vcsim) - vSphere API mock framework
* [toolbox](./toolbox) - VM guest tools framework
## Compatibility
This library is built for and tested against ESXi and vCenter 6.0, 6.5 and 6.7.
It may work with versions 5.5 and 5.1, but neither are officially supported.
## Documentation
The APIs exposed by this library very closely follow the API described in the [VMware vSphere API Reference Documentation][apiref].
Refer to this document to become familiar with the upstream API.
The code in the `govmomi` package is a wrapper for the code that is generated from the vSphere API description.
It primarily provides convenience functions for working with the vSphere API.
See [godoc.org][godoc] for documentation.
