Hi all,

[ObjectStores.jl](https://github.com/JockLawrie/ObjectStores.jl) defines an API for accessing object storage (in which objects are stored in buckets).

An `ObjectStore` is an abstract type that allows you to swap the storage back-end without changing your code.  
See the README for examples of the API.

Also available are these implementations, which have examples in their respective README files:

- [LocalDiskObjectStores.jl](https://github.com/JockLawrie/LocalDiskObjectStores.jl), which uses the local file system as the storage back-end. In this case the objects are files and the buckets are directories.
- [GoogleCloudObjectStores.jl](https://github.com/JockLawrie/GoogleCloudObjectStores.jl), which uses _Google Cloud Storage_ as the storage back-end.

Examples of other possible storage back-ends include AWS S3 and `Dict`s for in-memory storage.  
Suggestions/comments/criticisms always welcome.  
Hope it helps!
