Go library to manage BIG-IP iControl REST API
Problem this snippet solves: This library provides necessary structs and functions to manage the whole REST API. Some REST Calls may require BIG-IP v12.1.x to work properly. How to use this snippet: f5-rest-client implements a REST client to query the F5 BIG-IP iControl REST API.
