Jonathan Amsterdam 7af32f14d0 google: add CredentialsFromJSON
Support obtaining a DefaultCredentials value from JSON data.

Also, add an example, and write more package doc.

For Go 1.9 and higher, rename DefaultCredentials to
Credentials and make the former an alias for the latter.

Updates google/google-api-go-client#247.

// Package google provides support for making OAuth2 authorized and authenticated
// HTTP requests to Google APIs. It supports the Web server flow, client-side
// credentials, service accounts, Google Compute Engine service accounts, and Google
// App Engine service accounts.
//
// A brief overview of the package follows. For more information, please read
// https://developers.google.com/accounts/docs/OAuth2
// and
// https://developers.google.com/accounts/docs/application-default-credentials.
//
// OAuth2 Configs
//
// Two functions in this package return golang.org/x/oauth2.Config values from Google credential
// data. Google supports two JSON formats for OAuth2 credentials: one is handled by ConfigFromJSON,
// the other by JWTConfigFromJSON. The returned Config can be used to obtain a TokenSource or
// create an http.Client.
//
//
// Credentials
//
// The DefaultCredentials type represents Google Application Default Credentials, as
// well as other forms of credential.
//
// Use FindDefaultCredentials to obtain Application Default Credentials.
// FindDefaultCredentials looks in some well-known places for a credentials file, and
// will call AppEngineTokenSource or ComputeTokenSource as needed.
//
// DefaultClient and DefaultTokenSource are convenience methods. They first call FindDefaultCredentials,
// then use the credentials to construct an http.Client or an oauth2.TokenSource.
//
// Use CredentialsFromJSON to obtain credentials from either of the two JSON
// formats described in OAuth2 Configs, above. (The DefaultCredentials returned may
// not be "Application Default Credentials".) The TokenSource in the returned value
// is the same as the one obtained from the oauth2.Config returned from
// ConfigFromJSON or JWTConfigFromJSON, but the DefaultCredentials may contain
// additional information that is useful is some circumstances.
