Client Libraries​

Gel client libraries are a bit higher level than usual database bindings. In particular, they contain:

• Structured data retrieval

• Connection pooling

• Retrying of failed transactions and queries

Additionally, client libraries might provide:

• Code generation for type-safe database access

• Query builder

This is a work-in-progress reference for writing client libraries for Gel.
