Google Chrome Content Analysis Connector Agent SDK

This directory holds the Google Chrome Content Analysis Connector Agent SDK. An Agent is an OS process running on the same computer as Google Chrome that listens for and processes content analysis requests from the browser. Supported OSes are Windows, Mac, and Linux.

Google Protocol Buffers

This SDK depends on Google Protocol Buffers version 3.18 or later. It may be installed from Google's download page for your developement platform. It may also be installed using a package manager.

The included demo uses the Microsoft vcpkg package manager to install protobuf. vcpkg is available on all supported platforms. See the demo for more details.

Adding the SDK into an agent

Add the SDK to a content analysis agent as follows:

1. Clone the SDK from Github. This document assumes that the SDK is downloaded and extracted into the directory $SDK_DIR.

2. Add the directory $SDK_DIR/include to the include path of the agent code base.

3. Add all the source files in the directory $SDK_DIR/src to the agent build. Note that files ending in _win.cc or _win.h are meant only for Windows, files ending in _posix.cc or _posix.h are meant only for Linux, and files ending in _mac.cc or _mac.h are meant only for Mac.

4. Reference the SDK in agent code using:

#include "content_analysis/sdk/local_analysis.h"
