  "github_readme_excerpt": "# GSL: Guidelines Support Library\n[![CI](https://github.com/Microsoft/GSL/actions/workflows/compilers.yml/badge.svg)](https://github.com/microsoft/GSL/actions/workflows/compilers.yml?query=branch%3Amain)\n[![vcpkg](https://img.shields.io/vcpkg/v/ms-gsl)](https://vcpkg.io/en/package/ms-gsl)\n\nThe Guidelines Support Library (GSL) contains functions and types that are suggested for use by the\n[C++ Core Guidelines](https://github.com/isocpp/CppCoreGuidelines) maintained by the [Standard C++ Foundation](https://isocpp.org).\nThis repo contains Microsoft\u0027s implementation of GSL.\n\nThe entire implementation is provided inline in the headers under the [gsl](./include/gsl) directory. The implementation generally assumes a platform that implements C++14 support.\n\nWhile some types have been broken out into their own headers (e.g. [gsl/span](./include/gsl/span)),\nit is simplest to just include [gsl/gsl](./include/gsl/gsl) and gain access to the entire library.\n\n\u003e NOTE: We encourage contributions that improve or refine any of the types in this library as well as ports to\nother platforms. Please see [CONTRIBUTING.md](./CONTRIBUTING.md) for more information about contributing.\n\n# Project Code of Conduct\nThis project has adopted the [Microsoft Open Source Code of Conduct](https://opensource.microsoft.com/codeofconduct/). For more information see the [Code of Conduct FAQ](https://opensource.microsoft.com/codeofconduct/faq/) or contact [opencode@microsoft.com](mailto:opencode@microsoft.com) with any additional questions or comments.\n\n# Usage of Third Party Libraries\nThis project makes use of the [Google Test](https://github.com/google/googletest) testing library.
