We don't recommend that third parties depend upon it. Doing -so is likely to be frustrating because there are no guarantees of API or ABI -stability. - -Programs ship their own copies of BoringSSL when they use it and we update -everything as needed when deciding to make API changes. This allows us to -mostly avoid compromises in the name of compatibility. It works for us, but it -may not work for you. - -BoringSSL arose because Google used OpenSSL for many years in various ways and, -over time, built up a large number of patches that were maintained while -tracking upstream OpenSSL. As Google's product portfolio became more complex, -more copies of OpenSSL sprung up and the effort involved in maintaining all -these patches in multiple places was growing steadily. - -Currently BoringSSL is the SSL library in Chrome/Chromium, Android (but it's -not part of the NDK) and a number of other apps/programs. - -There are other files in this directory which might be helpful: - - * [PORTING.md](/PORTING.md): how to port OpenSSL-using code to BoringSSL. - * [BUILDING.md](/BUILDING.md): how to build BoringSSL - * [STYLE.md](/STYLE.md): rules and guidelines for coding style. - * include/openssl: public headers with API documentation in comments.
