+# Prometheus Go client library
+
+[![Build Status](https://travis-ci.org/prometheus/client_golang.svg?branch=master)](https://travis-ci.org/prometheus/client_golang)
+
+This is the [Go](http://golang.org) client library for
+[Prometheus](http://prometheus.io). It has two separate parts, one for
+instrumenting application code, and one for creating clients that talk to the
+Prometheus HTTP API.
+
+## Instrumenting applications
+
+[![code-coverage](http://gocover.io/_badge/github.com/prometheus/client_golang/prometheus)](http://gocover.io/github.com/prometheus/client_golang/prometheus) [![go-doc](https://godoc.org/github.com/prometheus/client_golang/prometheus?status.svg)](https://godoc.org/github.com/prometheus/client_golang/prometheus)
+
+The
+[`prometheus` directory](https://github.com/prometheus/client_golang/tree/master/prometheus)
+contains the instrumentation library. See the
+[best practices section](http://prometheus.io/docs/practices/naming/) of the
+Prometheus documentation to learn more about instrumenting applications.
+
+The
+[`examples` directory](https://github.com/prometheus/client_golang/tree/master/examples)
+contains simple examples of instrumented code.
+
+## Client for the Prometheus HTTP API
+
+[![code-coverage](http://gocover.io/_badge/github.com/prometheus/client_golang/api/prometheus)](http://gocover.io/github.com/prometheus/client_golang/api/prometheus) [![go-doc](https://godoc.org/github.com/prometheus/client_golang/api/prometheus?status.svg)](https://godoc.org/github.com/prometheus/client_golang/api/prometheus)
+
+The
+[`api/prometheus` directory](https://github.com/prometheus/client_golang/tree/master/api/prometheus)
+contains the client for the
+[Prometheus HTTP API](http://prometheus.io/docs/querying/api/). It allows you
+to write Go applications that query time series data from a Prometheus server.
+
+## Where is `model`, `extraction`, and `text`?
+
+The `model` packages has been moved to
+[`prometheus/common/model`](https://github.com/prometheus/common/tree/master/model).
+
+The `extraction` and `text` packages are now contained in
+[`prometheus/common/expfmt`](https://github.com/prometheus/common/tree/master/expfmt).
