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.

Improving the code from the official Go RESTful API tutorial
I suspect it's because Go's general philosophy is that it's better to be verbose and explicit (than terse and magical). Probably falls under "clear is better than clever" from Rob Pike's Go Proverbs: http://go-proverbs.github.io/
I think if this feature was added, it would not be with struct tags, but with an Encoder.SetFieldTransform(json.SnakeCase) or similar setting.
That might be quite a nice feature, actually. You could provide your own function to transform names when marshaling, and for unmarshaling it would strip punctuation and match case insensitively (because it's hard to do the reverse transform, for example should user_id go to UserId or UserID, and if the latter, how does the transform know?).
In any case, it seems like an issue was opened proposing something like that a couple of years ago (https://github.com/golang/go/issues/23027), and Russ Cox responded that the JSON package is basically done, but you could either fork it and add the feature, or use a tool that modifies struct tags like https://github.com/fatih/gomodifytags

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.

-
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!
