### [Golang Driver](https://github.com/mattermost/platform/blob/master/model/client.go)
[client.go](https://github.com/mattermost/platform/blob/master/model/client.go) - This is a RESTful driver connecting with the Golang-based webservice of Mattermost and is used by unit tests.
## Building API Integration
If you're building deep integration with Mattermost, for example a mobile native client, and there is a driver available to support the programming language you are using, it's best to use the driver available to access the [Mattermost Web Service APIs](API-Web-Service.md).
If no driver is available for the programming language of your choice, you can view the [Golang Driver](https://github.com/mattermost/platform/blob/master/model/client.go) source code to understand how it exercises the Web Service API. You can also learn more by reviewing open source projects that use the Web Service API, like [matterircd](https://github.com/42wim/matterircd).
There are a wide range of [installation guides](www.mattermost.org/installation/) for setting up your own Mattermost server on which to develop and test your integrations.
