2 | 2 |
|
3 | 3 | ## Description |
4 | | -Written by Google, the Google HTTP Client Library for Java is a flexible, efficient, and powerful Java library for accessing any resource on the web via HTTP. The library has the following features: |
5 | | - - Pluggable HTTP transport abstraction that allows you to use any low-level library such as java.net.HttpURLConnection, Apache HTTP Client, or URL Fetch on Google App Engine. |
6 | | - - Efficient JSON and XML data models for parsing and serialization of HTTP response and request content. The JSON and XML libraries are also fully pluggable, and they include support for [Jackson](https://github.com/FasterXML/jackson) and Android's GSON libraries for JSON. |

| 36 | +## Notice: Ending Java 5 Support |
| 37 | + |
| 38 | +Please note: since Java 5 is no longer supported by Oracle or in Android, we will begin ending |
| 39 | +Java 5 support in release 1.24.0. Users may stay still use these libraries in Java 5 projects for |
| 40 | +some time, but going forward we will not ensure that these libraries work in such an environment. |
| 41 | +After 1.24.0, our supported versions will include Java 6 and onward. |
| 42 | + |
| 43 | +For questions or concerns, please file an issue. |
