Connect with Redis client API libraries

Connect your application to a Redis database and try an example

Use the Redis client libraries to connect to Redis servers from your own code. We document the following client libraries for six main languages:

Language Client name Docs Supported
Python redis-py redis-py guide Yes
Python RedisVL RedisVL guide Yes
C#/.NET NRedisStack NRedisStack guide Yes
JavaScript node-redis node-redis guide Yes
Java Jedis Jedis guide Yes
Java Lettuce Lettuce guide Yes
Go go-redis go-redis guide Yes
PHP Predis Predis guide No

We also provide several higher-level object mapping (OM) libraries for Python, C#/.NET, Node.js, and Java/Spring.

Community-supported clients

The table below shows the recommended third-party client libraries for languages that Redis does not document directly:

Language Client name Github Docs
C hiredis https://github.com/redis/hiredis https://github.com/redis/hiredis
C++ Boost.Redis https://github.com/boostorg/redis https://www.boost.org/doc/libs/develop/libs/redis/doc/html/index.html
Dart redis_dart_link https://github.com/toolsetlink/redis_dart_link https://github.com/toolsetlink/redis_dart_link
PHP PhpRedis extension https://github.com/phpredis/phpredis https://github.com/phpredis/phpredis/blob/develop/README.md
Ruby redis-rb https://github.com/redis/redis-rb https://rubydoc.info/gems/redis
Rust redis-rs https://github.com/redis-rs/redis-rs https://docs.rs/redis/latest/redis/

Requirements

You will need access to a Redis server to use these libraries. You can experiment with a local installation of Redis Stack (see Install Redis Stack) or with a free trial of Redis Cloud. To interact with a Redis server without writing code, use the Redis CLI and Redis Insight tools.
