Important: This wiki is for developers working on the Azure SDK for Java. If you want to learn more about how to use the Azure SDK for Java, there is documentation available on docs.microsoft.com.

Welcome to the Azure SDK for Java wiki! This wiki contains useful content and links for users of the Azure SDK for Java, as well as contributors to this SDK. There are two sections: for client libraries and for management libraries.

Client libraries follow the Azure SDK Design Guidelines for Java and share a number of core features such as HTTP retries, logging, transport protocols, authentication protocols, etc., so that once you learn how to use these features in one client library, you will know how to use them in other client libraries.

Management libraries enable you to provision specific resources. They are responsible for directly mirroring and consuming Azure service's REST endpoints.
