This repository is a home for the [protocol buffer][protobuf] types which are
common dependencies throughout the Google API ecosystem, generated for PHP.
The protobuf definitions for these generated PHP classes are provided by the
[Common Components AIP][common-components-aip] repository.

## Using these generated classes

These classes are made available under an Apache license (see `LICENSE`) and
you are free to depend on them within your applications. They are
considered stable and will not change in backwards-incompaible ways.

They are distributed as the [google/common-protos][packagist-common-protos]
composer package, available on [Packagist][packagist].

In order to depend on these classes, add the following line to your
composer.json file in the `requires` section:

```
  "google/common-protos": "^2.0"
```

Or else use composer from the command line:

```bash
composer require google/common-protos
```

## License

These classes are licensed using the Apache 2.0 software license, a
permissive, copyfree license. You are free to use them in your applications
provided the license terms are honored.
