 # Pulsar C++ client library
 
-Examples for using the API to publish and consume messages can be found under the [examples](https://github.com/apache/pulsar-client-cpp/tree/main/examples) folder.
+Pulsar C++ clients support a variety of Pulsar features to enable building applications connecting to your Pulsar cluster.
+
+For the supported Pulsar features, see [Client Feature Matrix](https://pulsar.apache.org/client-feature-matrix/).
+
+For how to use APIs to publish and consume messages, see [examples](https://github.com/apache/pulsar-client-cpp/tree/main/examples).
 
 ## Generate the API documents
 
 Pulsar C++ client uses [doxygen](https://www.doxygen.nl) to build API documents. After installing `doxygen`, you only need to run `doxygen` to generate the API documents whose main page is under the `doxygen/html/index.html` path.
 
 ## Requirements
 
-* A C++ compiler that supports C++11, like GCC >= 4.8
-* CMake >= 3.13
-* [Boost](http://www.boost.org/)
-* [Protocol Buffer](https://developers.google.com/protocol-buffers/) >= 3
-* [libcurl](https://curl.se/libcurl/)
-* [openssl](https://github.com/openssl/openssl)

 For Ubuntu users, you can install `clang-format-11` via `apt install clang-format-11`. For other users, run `./build-support/docker-format.sh` if you have Docker installed.
 
 We welcome contributions from the open source community, kindly make sure your changes are backward compatible with GCC 4.8 and Boost 1.53.

+If your contribution adds Pulsar features for C++ clients, you need to update both the [Pulsar docs](https://pulsar.apache.org/docs/client-libraries/) and the [Client Feature Matrix](https://pulsar.apache.org/client-feature-matrix/). See [Contribution Guide](https://pulsar.apache.org/contribute/site-intro/#pages) for more details.
