## What it is
go-jira is a Go client library for the Atlassian Jira REST API, supporting authentication (Basic, OAuth, session cookie, bearer/PAT), issue creation and retrieval, and issue transitions. It is not API-complete but allows calling any Jira endpoint, with a v2 rewrite in development on the main branch.

## Use cases
- create jira issues from a go program
- automate jira ticket status transitions
- query jira issues via the rest api in go
- authenticate to jira with a personal access token
- build a slack bot that syncs with jira
- call unimplemented jira api endpoints from go

## When to choose
- you need to integrate Jira with Go code or tooling
- you want a lightweight, go-gettable client covering auth and common issue operations
- you need to call arbitrary Jira REST endpoints not wrapped by the library

## When to avoid
- you need full Jira API coverage out of the box
- you need a stable API and cannot tolerate breaking changes from the in-development v2 main branch
- you are not working in Go

## Facets
- artifact type: library
- maturity: active
- function: http-client, auth, sdk
- domain: apis, developer-tools, backend
- platform: go, cross-platform
- tags: jira, atlassian, rest-api, issue-tracking, api-client, automation
