null VS gota

Use-case: working on PATCH requests, the body may or may not contain nullable values. I am using guregu/null and I can't use a pointer because if the json contains "null" as a value, the pointer will be set to nil in the struct, instead of a value representing the presence of null. In short I can't differentiate the absence of the field in the request from the presence of the field with a null value.

https://github.com/guregu/null is an awesome package implementing most SQL scanner Interfaces plus JSON

There’s also this: https://github.com/guregu/null

Unfortunately in Go, switching to *bool makes the api a little more awkward to use since users that need to set true or false have to define a local variable then use a pointer to that. Another option would be something like null, but that adds a dependency to your currently-dependency-free project. If anyone has a better solution to this pattern, I'd love to hear it.

Is the Gota project still maintained?

Could give this a try https://github.com/go-gota/gota

I did find a dataframe library for Go: gota. But compared to Pandas, it's API was just plain ugly, imo. Ofcourse it's further complicated by the fact that this doesn't use generics yet, so further uglified by interface{} littered everywhere.

Maybe look at https://github.com/go-gota/gota for a start.
