Stars - the number of stars that a project has on GitHub. Growth - month over month growth in stars.
Activity is a relative number indicating how actively a project is being developed. Recent commits have higher weight than older ones.
For example, an activity of 9.0 indicates that a project is amongst the top 10% of the most actively developed projects that we are tracking.

- I wrote my own Go HTTP client
- requests v0.23.4 with XML support

How use gorilla/http for requests
Here is a good HTTP client library that is still under maintenance: https://github.com/carlmjohnson/requests

The Go libraries that never failed us: 22 libraries you need to know
https://blog.carlmjohnson.net/post/2021/requests-golang-http-client/ talks about why that’s the API. To be honest, I think a lot of people have an irrational fear of mutability. If you want to make a clone, use .Clone(). If not then don’t. But if you don’t like mutability, you’re going to dislike using the Go standard library, which uses mutable package variables all over the place.

Too many returns?
Yeah, tons of boilerplate. See https://blog.carlmjohnson.net/post/2021/requests-golang-http-client/

How I write offline API tests in Go
Yeah, I made a simple response recorder inspired by VCR. VCR is a little more complex than I need but the basic approach is great.
- Libraries you use most of your projects?
-
json response data from curl tool is different than http.Get method.
The native Go HTTP library is very capable, but it is extremely verbose. At the risk of introducing more complexity, I suggest using https://github.com/carlmjohnson/requests just so you don’t have to deal with checking all the errors and making the status code is correct.

How GoLang Generics Empower Concise API: HTML Table Extraction Case Study
What the other commenter said but also read this: https://blog.carlmjohnson.net/post/2021/requests-golang-http-client/ It talks about the need for clients and contexts throughout.

go-vcr v3 has been released
VCR is a great project, and because it uses the standard Go http.RoundTripper interface, you can use it with other projects!

Setting up a Database Driver, Repository and Implementation of a transaction function for your Go App
Sometimes, backend developers tend to opt for an ORM library because it provides an abstraction between your app and the database and thus there is little or no need to write raw queries and migrations which is nice. However, if you want to get better at writing queries (SQL for example), you need to learn how to build your repositories without an ORM. To open a database handle, you can either do it directly from the database driver or do it from database/sql with the driver passed into it. I will be opening the connection with database/sql together with pgx which is a driver and toolkit for PostgreSQL. Walk with me.

The DDD Hamburger for Go
The infrastructure layer contains the concrete implementation of the repository domain interface ActivityRepository in the struct DbActivityRepository. This repository implementation uses the Postgres driver pgx and plain SQL to store the activity in the database. It uses the database transaction from the context, since the transaction was initiated by the application service.

Building RESTful API with Hexagonal Architecture in Go
For building the RESTful Point of Sale service API, I've considered and selected a combination of technologies that would work seamlessly together. For handling HTTP requests and responses, using the Gin HTTP web framework would make sense because I think it seems complete and popular among Go community too. To ensure data integrity and persistence, I'm using PostgreSQL database with pgx as the database driver, the reason I choose PostgreSQL because it is the most popular relational database to use in production and offers efficient Go integration. I'm also implementing caching using Redis with go-redis client library, which provides powerful in-memory data storage capabilities.

Working with postgres in GO.
If you are willing to commit to working only with Postgres, I highly recommend pgx. Be sure you get the latest version github.com/jackc/pgx/v5. This gives you the full power of interacting with Postgres without going through an intermediate lowest-common-denominator library.

How to Use Iris and PostgreSQL for Web Development
It uses pg package and pgx driver under the hood.

Could I get a code review?
Starting off, is there any reason you're calling out to the CLI, instead of just using a Postgres driver like pgx? Shelling out to the command line should always be a last resort where possible as a software engineer.

Why elixir over Golang
For maintaining state I use PostgreSQL. Driver: https://github.com/jackc/pgx (I use the pgxpools) Along with Sqlc for generating database models and allowing me to focus on just building queries in DBeaver. https://sqlc.dev/

Zig now has built-in HTTP server and client in std
Except pgx recommends using their native interface, not database/sql, for performance and extra features [0], so it's not that simple in practice.
