Google Apps .NET Client

I was googling after a Google Apps API .NET client and found the following one which seems rather old.

The Google Data page (which is the API that the mention client uses) states the following:

Most newer Google APIs are not Google Data APIs. The Google Data APIs documentation applies only to the older APIs that are listed in the Google Data APIs directory. For information about a specific new API, see that API's documentation. For information about authorizing requests with a newer API, see Google Accounts Authentication and Authorization.

Does that mean that the Google Data APIs will be obsoleted?

Should I use another API/Client instead?

https://developers.google.com/google-apps/contacts/v3/ (newest API) does not list any .NET client implementations.

The Contacts API v3 is still a Google Data API and as such it is supported by the .NET library for the Google Data API:

http://code.google.com/p/google-gdata/

The documentation at https://developers.google.com/google-apps/contacts/v3/ has examples in .NET to help you get started with that.

Just to clarify, the Contacts API v3 and Google Data APIs in general are not obsolete, however it is likely that new versions of them (or new APIs) will be be JSON-based instead and use the new client libraries.
