+// Package google provides support for making OAuth2 authorized and authenticated
+// HTTP requests to Google APIs. It supports the Web server flow, client-side
+// credentials, service accounts, Google Compute Engine service accounts, and Google
+// App Engine service accounts.
+//
+// A brief overview of the package follows. For more information, please read
+// https://developers.google.com/accounts/docs/OAuth2
+// and
+// https://developers.google.com/accounts/docs/application-default-credentials.
+//
+// OAuth2 Configs
+//
+// Two functions in this package return golang.org/x/oauth2.Config values from Google credential
+// data. Google supports two JSON formats for OAuth2 credentials: one is handled by ConfigFromJSON,
+// the other by JWTConfigFromJSON. The returned Config can be used to obtain a TokenSource or
+// create an http.Client.
+//
+//
+// Credentials
+//
+// The Credentials type represents Google credentials, including Application Default
+// Credentials.
+//
+// Use FindDefaultCredentials to obtain Application Default Credentials.
+// FindDefaultCredentials looks in some well-known places for a credentials file, and
+// will call AppEngineTokenSource or ComputeTokenSource as needed.
+//
+// DefaultClient and DefaultTokenSource are convenience methods. They first call FindDefaultCredentials,
+// then use the credentials to construct an http.Client or an oauth2.TokenSource.
+//
+// Use CredentialsFromJSON to obtain credentials from either of the two JSON formats
+// described in OAuth2 Configs, above. The TokenSource in the returned value is the
+// same as the one obtained from the oauth2.Config returned from ConfigFromJSON or
+// JWTConfigFromJSON, but the Credentials may contain additional information
+// that is useful is some circumstances.
