README

          
Every major open-source project has its own style guide: a set of conventions (sometimes arbitrary) 

about how to write code for that project. It is much easier to understand a large codebase when all 

the code in it is in a consistent style.

Style covers a lot of ground, from use camelCase for variable names to never use global variables

to never use exceptions. This project holds the style guidelines we use for Google code. If you are

modifying a project that originated at Google, you may be pointed to this page to see the style 

guides that apply to that project.

Our C++ Style Guide, Objective-C Style Guide, and Python Style Guide are now available. We have

also released cpplint, a tool to assist with style guide compliance, and google-c-style.el, an Emacs

settings file for Google style.

If your project requires that you create a new XML document format, our XML Document Format Style

Guide may be helpful. In addition to actual style rules, it also contains advice on designing your

own vs. adapting an existing format, on XML instance document formatting, and on elements vs. attributes.
