Arroyo.cc / tech / Aqwari.net Go libraries

This site references a number of Go packages. Documentation for these packages may be found by visiting the package's import path in your web browser. The goal is to produce focused libraries that compose well with Go’s standard library.

The import hierarchy of aqwari.net follows the example set by the Go standard library; for example, aqwari.net/encoding/ndb defines functions to decode and encode ndb text.

Of particular significance is the aqwari.net/exp prefix – this contains libraries that are not complete. Either some functionality is missing, serious bugs have to be fixed, or the API has not been set in stone yet. These library APIs are subject to change at any time.

Other finished libraries will only have backwards-compatible changes. Once they are moved out of aqwari.net/exp, these libraries should be considered safe to use. There will be exceptions to this rule, and the README of each project takes precedence over what is written here. If you are shipping a critical production application, the usual disclaimers apply – this site may go down, major bug may be found, etc. Nothing is infallible, etc etc. Vendor your dependencies.

List of libraries
