| 23 | + |
| 24 | +## API Client Libraries |
| 25 | + |
| 26 | +To call the Kubernetes API from a programming language, you can use |
| 27 | +[client libraries](/docs/reference/using-api/client-libraries/). Officially supported |
| 28 | +client libraries: |
| 29 | + |
| 30 | +- [Kubernetes Go client library](https://github.com/kubernetes/client-go/) |
| 31 | +- [Kubernetes Python client library](https://github.com/kubernetes-client/python) |
| 32 | +- [Kubernetes Java client library](https://github.com/kubernetes-client/java) |
| 33 | +- [Kubernetes JavaScript client library](https://github.com/kubernetes-client/javascript) |
| 34 | + |
| 35 | +## CLI Reference |
| 36 | + |
| 37 | +* [kubectl](/docs/reference/kubectl/overview/) - Main CLI tool for running commands and managing Kubernetes clusters. |
| 38 | + * [JSONPath](/docs/reference/kubectl/jsonpath/) - Syntax guide for using [JSONPath expressions](http://goessner.net/articles/JsonPath/) with kubectl. |
| 39 | +* [kubeadm](/docs/reference/setup-tools/kubeadm/kubeadm/) - CLI tool to easily provision a secure Kubernetes cluster. |
| 40 | + |
| 41 | +## Config Reference |
| 42 | + |
| 43 | +* [kubelet](/docs/reference/command-line-tools-reference/kubelet/) - The primary *node agent* that runs on each node. The kubelet takes a set of PodSpecs and ensures that the described containers are running and healthy. |
| 44 | +* [kube-apiserver](/docs/reference/command-line-tools-reference/kube-apiserver/) - REST API that validates and configures data for API objects such as pods, services, replication controllers. |
| 45 | +* [kube-controller-manager](/docs/reference/command-line-tools-reference/kube-controller-manager/) - Daemon that embeds the core control loops shipped with Kubernetes. |
| 46 | +* [kube-proxy](/docs/reference/command-line-tools-reference/kube-proxy/) - Can do simple TCP/UDP stream forwarding or round-robin TCP/UDP forwarding across a set of back-ends. |
| 47 | +* [kube-scheduler](/docs/reference/command-line-tools-reference/kube-scheduler/) - Scheduler that manages availability, performance, and capacity. |

| 49 | +## Design Docs |
| 50 | + |
| 51 | +An archive of the design docs for Kubernetes functionality. Good starting points are [Kubernetes Architecture](https://git.k8s.io/community/contributors/design-proposals/architecture/architecture.md) and [Kubernetes Design Overview](https://git.k8s.io/community/contributors/design-proposals). |
