Globus SDK Experimental Components

Warning

The experimental module contains new “unstable” interfaces. These interfaces are subject to breaking changes.

Use at your own risk.

Experimental Construct Lifecycle

A construct is added in the experimental module when we, the maintainers, are not sufficiently confident that it represents the best possible interface for the underlying functionality. This frequently occurs when we have a design which shows promise but would like to solicit feedback from the community before committing to it.

Once an interface has been evaluated and proven to be sufficiently coherent, we will “stabilize” it, moving it to an appropriate section in the main module and leaving behind an alias in the requisite experimental module to minimize import breakage. These aliases will persist until the next major version release of the SDK (e.g., v3 -> v4).
