Available packages
Each service might have a number of libraries available from each of
the following categories:
- Client: New Releases
- Client: Previous Versions
- Management: New Releases
- Management: Previous Versions
Client: New Releases
New wave of packages that 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. You can learn about these shared
features
here.
These libraries can be easily identified by folder, package, and
namespaces names starting with azure-, e.g. azure-keyvault.
You can find the most up to date list of all of the new packages on
our
page.
This list includes the most recent releases: both GA and preview.
NOTE: If you need to ensure your code is ready for production use one of the stable, non-preview libraries.
Client: Previous Versions
Last stable versions of packages that have been provided for usage
with Azure and are production-ready. These libraries provide similar
functionalities to the new libraries, as they allow you to use and
consume existing resources and interact with them, for example: upload
a blob. Previous library directories start with microsoft-azure-,
e.g. microsoft-azure-keyvault. They might not implement the
guidelines
or have the same feature set as the new releases. They do however
offer wider coverage of services.
Management: New Releases A new set of management libraries that follow the [Azure SDK Design Guidelines for
Java](https://azure.github.io/azure-sdk/java/guidelines/) are now in
Public Preview. These new libraries provide a higher-level,
object-oriented API for managing Azure resources, that is optimized
for ease of use, succinctness and consistency. You can find the list
of new packages on this
page .
Documentation and code samples for these new libraries can be found
here
NOTE: If you need to ensure your code is ready for production use one of the stable, non-preview libraries.
Management: Previous Versions For a complete list of management libraries which enable you to provision and manage Azure resources,
please check
here.
They might not have the same feature set as the new releases but they
do offer wider coverage of services. Management libraries can be
identified by namespaces that start with azure-mgmt-, e.g.
azure-mgmt-compute
