| 7 | +## Description |
| 8 | + |
| 9 | +Written by Google, the Google OAuth Client Library for Java is a |
| 10 | +powerful and easy-to-use Java library for the OAuth 1.0a and OAuth 2.0 |
| 11 | +authorization standards. |
| 12 | + |
| 13 | +The Google OAuth Client Library for Java is designed to work with any |
| 14 | +OAuth service on the web, not just with Google APIs. The library is |
| 15 | +built on the [Google HTTP Client Library for Java][google-http-client], |
| 16 | +and it supports Java 7 (or higher) standard (SE) and enterprise (EE), |
| 17 | +Android 4.0 (or higher), and Google App Engine. |
| 18 | + |
| 19 | +For access to Google APIs, see the |
| 20 | +[Google API Client Library for Java][google-api-client]. |
| 21 | + |
| 22 | +This is an open-source library, and you can access the |
| 23 | +[source on GitHub][google-oauth-client]. [Contributions][contributions] are |
| 24 | +welcome. |

| 26 | +## Beta Features |
| 27 | + |
| 28 | +Features marked with the `@Beta` annotation at the class or method level |
| 29 | +are subject to change. They might be modified in any way, or even removed, |
| 30 | +in any major release. You should not use beta features if your code is a |
| 31 | +library itself (that is, if your code is used on the `CLASSPATH` of users |
| 32 | +outside your own control). |
| 33 | + |
| 34 | +## Deprecated Features |
| 35 | + |
| 36 | +Deprecated non-beta features will be removed eighteen months after the |
| 37 | +release in which they are first deprecated. You must fix your usages before |
| 38 | +this time. If you don't, any type of breakage might result, and you are not |
| 39 | +guaranteed a compilation error. |
