AIP stands for API Improvement Proposal, which is a design document providing high-level, concise documentation for API development. They are to serve as the source of truth for API-related documentation at Google and the means by which API teams discuss and come to consensus on API guidance.
The easiest way to read AIPs is using GitHub Pages: aip.dev.
If you prefer, you can also read the source files, which are in this repository
in the aip/ directory.
We would be happy to consider proposals. In order to propose a new AIP, start by opening an issue. If there is general interest and it comes time to draft an actual proposal, consult our contributing guide.
