- `@angular/http`
- `@angular/service-worker`
One intentional omission from this list is `@angular/compiler`, which is currently considered a low level api and is subject to internal changes. These changes will not affect any applications or libraries using the higher-level apis (the command line interface or JIT compilation via `@angular/platform-browser-dynamic`). Only very specific use-cases require direct access to the compiler API (mostly tooling integration for IDEs, linters, etc). If you are working on this kind of integration, please reach out to us first.
Package `@angular/bazel` is currently an Angular Labs project and not covered by the public API guarantees.
Additionally only the command line usage (not direct use of APIs) of `@angular/compiler-cli` is covered.
Other projects developed by the Angular team like angular-cli, Angular Material, will be covered by these or similar guarantees in the future as they mature.

We explicitly don't consider the following to be our public API surface:
- any file/import paths within our package except for the `/`, `/testing` and `/bundles/*`
- any file/import paths within our package except for the `/`, `/testing` and `/bundles/*` and other documented package entry-points.
- constructors of injectable classes (services and directives) - please use DI to obtain instances of these classes
- any class members or symbols marked as `private`, or prefixed with underscore (`_`) and [barred latin o](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/%C6%9F) (`ɵ`)
- extending any of our classes unless the support for this is specifically documented in the API docs
