Go Examples
Go(lang) examples
Now with an online live editor with Golang support. Try out and edit the examples directly in the browser. These examples explain the basics of Golang. There will be more examples from time to time. The examples are divided into three levels of difficulty. The Beginner section contains very easy examples, starting with Hello World but also containing a few easy algorithms. The Advanced section uses more complicated features of Golang. Finally, the Expert section contains applications like telnet-clients or http-server (even with SSL). If you want even more Golang examples, you can take a look at my other go repositories at GitHub. To execute a Golang program, write go run at the cli followed by the name of the file. You also can convert the file to a binary executable program by the command go build. One great aspect of Golang is, that you can start go applications via go run name.go, but also compile it to an executable with go build name.go. -

AndroidLibXrayLite
Lightweight Android library that bundles the Xray networking core
AndroidLibXrayLite is a lightweight Android library that bundles the Xray networking core as an embeddable component for apps. Its purpose is to provide a minimal, size-optimized build of the native core with a clear Java/Kotlin interface to start, stop, and configure network tunnels. By exposing the core as an AAR with per-ABI artifacts, it keeps application footprints small while supporting common CPU architectures. The library abstracts process management and log streaming so host apps can control lifecycles and capture diagnostics. It’s particularly useful for developers who want to integrate secure, rule-based proxying into their own Android apps without re-implementing the native glue. With a focus on stability and easy updates, it shortens the path from concept to a working in-app networking stack. -

Amazon EC2 Instance Selector
A CLI tool and go library which recommends instance types
A CLI tool and go library which recommends instance types based on resource criteria like vcpus and memory. There are over 270 different instance types available on EC2 which can make the process of selecting appropriate instance types difficult. Instance Selector helps you select compatible instance types for your application to run on. The command-line interface can be passed resource criteria like vcpus, memory, network performance, and much more and then return the available, matching instance types. If you are using spot instances to save on costs, it is a best practice to use multiple instances types within your auto-scaling group (ASG) to ensure your application doesn't experience downtime due to one instance type being interrupted. Instance Selector will help to find a set of instance types that your application can run on. -

Go Jsonnet
This an implementation of Jsonnet in pure Go
go-jsonnet is a pure Go implementation of the Jsonnet data templating language, which extends JSON with variables, functions, imports, and a standard library so you can generate complex configuration safely. Instead of hand-maintaining massive JSON files, you write concise, reusable templates that evaluate to JSON or YAML, with deterministic semantics and rich error messages. The repository ships both an embeddable VM for Go programs and a command-line interpreter, making it easy to integrate templating into build systems, CLIs, and services. Import paths and custom resolvers let you structure large configuration trees across directories or remote sources, while top-level arguments and external variables parameterize builds per environment. Native functions can be registered from Go to expose domain-specific helpers without forking the language. Tooling such as a formatter and linter-friendly errors encourages clean, consistent templates that scale across teams. -

Vegeta
HTTP load testing tool and library. It's over 9000!
Vegeta is a versatile HTTP load testing tool built out of a need to drill HTTP services with a constant request rate. It can be used both as a command line utility and a library. You can install Vegeta using the Homebrew package manager on Mac OS X. Both the library and the CLI are versioned with SemVer v2.0.0. After v8.0.0, the two components are versioned separately to better isolate breaking changes to each. CLI releases are tagged with cli/vMAJOR.MINOR.PATCH and published on the Github releases page. As for the library, new versions are tagged with both lib/vMAJOR.MINOR.PATCH and vMAJOR.MINOR.PATCH. The latter tag is required for compatibility with go mod. The JSON format makes integration with programs that produce targets dynamically easier. Each target is one JSON object in its own line. The method and url fields are required. If present, the body field must be base64 encoded. The generated JSON Schema defines the format in detail. -

Interactsh
An OOB interaction gathering server and client library
Interactsh is an open-source tool for detecting out-of-band interactions. It is a tool designed to detect vulnerabilities that cause external interactions. Interactsh Cli client requires go1.17+ to install successfully. interactsh-client with -sf, -session-file flag can be used store/read the current session information from user defined file which is useful to resume the same session to poll the interactions even after the client gets stopped or closed. Running the interactsh-client in verbose mode (v) to see the whole request and response, along with an output file to analyze afterwards. Using the server flag, interactsh-client can be configured to connect with a self-hosted Interactsh server, this flag accepts single or multiple server separated by comma. Default servers are subject to change/rotate/down at any time, thus we recommend using a self-hosted interactsh server if you are experiencing issues with the default server. -

Caire
Content aware image resize library
Caire is a content aware image resize library based on Seam Carving for Content-Aware Image Resizing paper. An energy map (edge detection) is generated from the provided image. The algorithm tries to find the least important parts of the image taking into account the lowest energy values. Using a dynamic programming approach the algorithm will generate individual seams across the image from top to down, or from left to right (depending on the horizontal or vertical resizing) and will allocate for each seam a custom value, the least important pixels having the lowest energy cost and the most important ones having the highest cost. We traverse the image from the second row to the last row and compute the cumulative minimum energy for all possible connected seams for each entry. The minimum energy level is calculated by summing up the current pixel value with the lowest value of the neighboring pixels obtained from the previous row. -

env
A simple and zero-dependencies library to parse environment variables
Parse environment variables to structs in Go. In Go, it’s dead simple to get the value from an environment variable. If you have a type that is not supported out of the box by the lib, you are able to use (or define) and pass custom parsers (and their associated reflect.Type) to the env.ParseWithFuncs() function. Env supports by default anything that implements the TextUnmarshaler interface. That includes things like time.Time for example. The upside is that depending on the format you need, you don't need to change anything. The downside is that if you do need time in another format, you'll need to create your own type. By default, slice types will split the environment value on ,; you can change this behavior by setting the envSeparator tag. If you set the envExpand tag, environment variables (either in ${var} or $var format) in the string will be replaced according with the actual value of the variable. -

Go Container Registry
Go library and CLIs for working with container registries
go-containerregistry is a Go library (with companion tools) for interacting with container images and registries using OCI/Docker formats. It provides primitives to read, write, mutate, sign, and copy images and indexes across registries without shelling out to Docker. High-level utilities like crane and gcrane offer convenient CLIs for everyday tasks—listing tags, copying images between registries, flattening, creating tarballs, and more. The library handles authentication via a pluggable keychain system that understands Docker config files, credential helpers, and environment credentials. It understands multiple on-disk layouts (tarball, OCI layout, remote) and lets you transform images in memory by adding or rebasing layers, adjusting config, and annotating manifests. Because everything is regular Go code, it’s straightforward to embed in CI/CD systems, policy engines, and bespoke supply-chain tooling. -

OpenAI Go
The official Go library for the OpenAI API
OpenAI Go is the official Go client library for accessing the OpenAI API. It enables developers to integrate OpenAI’s models and features into Go applications with a clean and idiomatic interface. The library provides support for a wide range of API endpoints including chat completions, assistants, embeddings, image generation, audio processing, and batch jobs. It includes built-in tools for handling authentication, managing API requests, and parsing structured responses. The repository also offers examples to help developers quickly set up projects and test different API calls. Designed for reliability and ease of use, it is maintained to stay aligned with the evolving OpenAI API specifications. -

go-chart
go chart is a basic charting library in go
Package chart is a very simple golang native charting library that supports time-series and continuous line charts. Master should now be on the v3.x codebase, which overhauls the api significantly. Per usual, see examples for more information. Actual chart configurations and examples can be found in the ./examples/ directory. They are simple CLI programs that write to output.png (they are also updated with go generate. Everything on the chart.Chart object has defaults that can be overridden. Whenever a developer sets a property on the chart object, it is to be assumed that value will be used instead of the default. The best way to see the api in action is to look at the examples in the ./_examples/ directory. I wanted to make a charting library that used only native golang, that could be stood up on a server (i.e. it had built-in fonts). The goal with the API itself is to have the "zero value be useful", and to require the user to not code more than they absolutely needed. -
18
go-toml
Go library for the TOML file format
Go library for the TOML format. This library supports TOML v1.0.0. Full API, examples, and implementation notes are available in the Go documentation. As much as possible, this library is designed to behave similarly as the standard library's encoding/json. While go-toml favors usability, it is written with performance in mind. Most operations should not be shockingly slow. Decoder can be set to "strict mode", which makes it error when some parts of the TOML document was not present in the target structure. This is a great way to check for typos. When most decoding errors occur, go-toml returns DecodeError), which contains a human readable contextualized version of the error. TOML supports native local date/times. It allows to represent a given date, time, or date-time without relation to a timezone or offset. To support this use-case, go-toml provides LocalDate, LocalTime, and LocalDateTime. -

gon
Sign, notarize, and package macOS CLI tools and applications
gon is a simple, no-frills tool for signing and notarizing your CLI binaries for macOS. gon is available as a CLI that can be run manually or in automation pipelines. It is also available as a Go library for embedding in projects written in Go. gon can sign and notarize binaries written in any language. Beginning with macOS Catalina (10.15), Apple is requiring all software distributed outside of the Mac App Store to be signed and notarized. Software that isn't properly signed or notarized will be shown an error message with the only actionable option being to "Move to Bin". The software cannot be run even from the command-line. The workarounds are painful for users. gon helps you automate the process of notarization. -

23
migrate
Database migrations, CLI and Golang library
Database migrations are written in Go. Use as CLI or import as a library. Migrate reads migrations from sources and applies them in correct order to a database. Drivers are "dumb", migrate glues everything together and makes sure the logic is bulletproof. (Keeps the drivers lightweight, too.) Database drivers don't assume things or try to correct user input. When in doubt, fail. Package migrate reads migrations from sources and runs them against databases. Sources are defined by the `source.Driver` and databases by the `database.Driver` interface. The driver interfaces are kept "dump", all migration logic is kept in this package. -
24
ws
Tiny WebSocket library for Go
Zero-copy upgrade. No intermediate allocations during I/O. Low-level API which allows building your own logic of packet handling and buffers reuse. High-level wrappers and helpers around API in wsutil package, which allow to start fast without digging the protocol internals. Existing WebSocket implementations do not allow users to reuse I/O buffers between connections in clear way. This library aims to export efficient low-level interface for working with the protocol without forcing only one way it could be used. Library is tagged as v1* so its API must not be broken during some improvements or refactoring. Example applications using ws are developed in separate repository ws-examples. We can apply the same pattern to read and write structured responses through a JSON encoder and decoder.Zero-copy upgrade helps to avoid unnecessary allocations and copying while handling HTTP Upgrade request. -
25
Cobra
A Commander for modern Go CLI interactions
Cobra is a library for creating powerful modern CLI applications, and at the same time a program to generate applications and command files. It provides a simple interface for creating powerful CLI interfaces, and will also generate application scaffolding so you can quickly develop your Cobra-based application. This scaffolding includes easy subcommand-based CLIs, fully POSIX-compliant flags, global, local and cascading flags, among many others. The structure of Cobra is based on commands, flags and arguments. The commands represent actions, the central point of the application; flags modify the behavior of commands; while arguments are things. With these easy-to-use concepts, users will natively understand how to use the application.
