    name: HashiCorp Nomad HTTP API
    description: >-
      The HashiCorp Nomad HTTP API provides programmatic access to all Nomad functionality including job scheduling,
      allocation management, node operations, deployments, services, evaluations, namespaces, ACL policies, and cluster
      status. All API routes are prefixed with /v1/ and the default port is 4646. The API is RESTful, responds to
      standard HTTP verbs, and supports ACL token authentication via the X-Nomad-Token header or Bearer scheme.
      Developers can use this API to submit and manage workloads, monitor cluster health, query allocation status, and
      integrate Nomad orchestration into their infrastructure automation workflows.

    description: >-
      The HashiCorp Nomad Go SDK is the official Go client library for interacting with the Nomad HTTP API. It provides
      a high-level, idiomatic Go interface for managing jobs, allocations, nodes, deployments, evaluations, and other
      Nomad resources. The SDK is maintained by HashiCorp as part of the main Nomad repository and is used internally by
      the Nomad CLI itself, making it the most comprehensive and up-to-date client available.
