      <h3 class="block-title">What is it?</h3>

      <p>The <code>Google Cloud Client Library</code> is a client
      library for accessing Google Cloud Platform services that significantly
      reduces the boilerplate code you have to write. The library provides
      high-level API abstractions so they're easier to understand. It embraces
      idioms of PHP, works well with the standard library, and
      integrates better with your codebase.
      All this means you spend more time creating code that matters
      to you.</p>

      <p>The <code>Google Cloud Client Library</code> is configured to
      access Google Cloud Platform services and authenticate (OAuth 2.0)
      automatically on your behalf. With a one-line install and a private key,
      you are up and ready to go. Better yet, if you are running on a Google
      Compute Engine instance, the one-line install is enough!</p>

      <h3 class="block-title">FAQ</h3>

      <h4>What is the relationship between the <code>Google Cloud Client Library</code> package
      and the <code>gcloud</code> command-line tool?</h4>
      <p>Both the <code>gcloud</code> command-line tool and the
      <code>Google Cloud Client Library</code> package are a part of the Google
      Cloud SDK: a collection of tools and libraries that enable you to easily
      create and manage resources on the Google Cloud Platform.
      The <code>gcloud</code> command-line tool can be used to manage both your
      development workflow and your Google Cloud Platform resources while the
      <code>Google Cloud Client Library</code> package is the offical library
      for interacting with PHP.</p>

      <h4>What is the relationship between the <code>Google Cloud Client Library</code>
      and the Google APIs PHP Client?</h4>
      <p>The <a href="https://github.com/google/google-api-php-client">
      Google APIs PHP Client</a> is a client library for
      using the broad set of Google APIs.
      The <code>Google Cloud Client Library</code> is built specifically for the
      Google Cloud Platform and is the recommended way to integrate Google Cloud
      APIs into your PHP applications. If your application requires both Google
      Cloud Platform and other Google APIs, the 2 libraries may be used by your
      application.</p>
