A Go library for interacting with VMware vSphere APIs (ESXi and/or vCenter).
For govc, a CLI built on top of govmomi, check out the govc directory.
This library is built for and tested against ESXi and vCenter 5.5 and 6.0.
If you're able to use it against older versions of ESXi and/or vCenter, please leave a note and we'll include it in this compatibility list.
The APIs exposed by this library very closely follow the API described in the VMware vSphere API Reference Documentation. Refer to this document to become familiar with the upstream API.
The code in the govmomi package is a wrapper for the code that is generated from the vSphere API description.
It primarily provides convenience functions for working with the vSphere API.
See godoc.org for documentation.
Changes to the API are subject to semantic versioning.
Refer to the CHANGELOG for version to version changes.
