# This version of `anchor-go` only supports the IDL format of anchor starting with version v0.30.0.
# If you have an older version of an IDL (many programs still have those), you can convert them with `anchor idl convert <my-program-old-idl.json> > <my-program-NEW-idl.json>` to the new format.

anchor-go generates Go clients for Solana programs (smart contracts) written using the anchor framework.
It reads the IDL (Interface Definition Language) file generated by anchor and produces Go code that can be used to interact with the program and its data structures.
