This library is considered to be in preview. This means it is still a
work-in-progress and under active development. Any release is subject to
backwards-incompatible changes at any time.

Supported Node.js Versions

Our client libraries follow the Node.js release schedule.
Libraries are compatible with all current _active_ and _maintenance_ versions of
Node.js.
If you are using an end-of-life version of Node.js, we recommend that you update
as soon as possible to an actively supported LTS version.

Google's client libraries support legacy versions of Node.js runtimes on a
best-efforts basis with the following warnings:

* Legacy versions are not tested in continuous integration.
* Some security patches and features cannot be backported.
* Dependencies cannot be kept up-to-date.

Client libraries targeting some end-of-life versions of Node.js are available, and
can be installed through npm dist-tags.
The dist-tags follow the naming convention legacy-(version).
For example, npm install @google-ai/generativelanguage@legacy-8 installs client libraries
for versions compatible with Node.js 8.

Versioning

This library follows Semantic Versioning.
