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.

Rob Pike: Gobs of data (2011)
Someone made a benchmark of serialization libraries in go [1], and I was surprised to see gobs is one of the slowest ones, specially for decoding. I suspect part of the reason is that the API doesn't not allow reusing decoders [2]. From my explorations it seems like both JSON [3], message-pack [4] and CBOR [5] are better alternatives.
By the way, in Go there are a like a million JSON encoders because a lot of things in the std library are not really coded for maximum performance but more for easy of usage, it seems. Perhaps this is the right balance for certain things (ex: the http library, see [6]).
There are also a bunch of libraries that allow you to modify a JSON file "in place", without having to fully deserialize into structs (ex: GJSON/SJSON [7] [8]). This sounds very convenient and more efficient that fully de/serializing if we just need to change the data a little.

Introducing Dot: The Magical Path Manipulator for Go! (open source)
A similar project: https://github.com/tidwall/sjson
- Modification of json string without deserialisation into map/struct
- Need help on appending fields to json bytes

Anyone learning Go or building a side project?
Not sure what you need to do but there is https://github.com/tidwall/sjson for quick manipulation.

What are your favorite packages to use?
I love https://github.com/tidwall/gjson and https://github.com/tidwall/sjson for fast and frictionless json reading and editing. It makes life so much easier for cases where you don't want to model a tree of nightmare-ish API responses, like Elasticsearch.

Go 1.21 Released
Be aware that there is a performance impact compared to using zerolog directly [0] (my uneducated guess is it is likely due to pointer indirection).

How to start a Go project in 2023
Things I can't live without in a new Go project in no particular order:
- https://github.com/golangci/golangci-lint - meta-linter
- https://goreleaser.com - automate release workflows
- https://magefile.org - build tool that can version your tools
- https://github.com/ory/dockertest/v3 - run containers for e2e testing
- https://github.com/ecordell/optgen - generate functional options
- https://golang.org/x/tools/cmd/stringer - generate String()
- https://mvdan.cc/gofumpt - stricter gofmt
- https://github.com/stretchr/testify - test assertion library
- https://github.com/rs/zerolog - logging
- https://github.com/spf13/cobra - CLI framework
FWIW, I just lifted all the tools we use for https://github.com/authzed/spicedb
We've also written some custom linters that might be useful for other folks: https://github.com/authzed/spicedb/tree/main/tools/analyzers

claim: qlog is faster, simpler and more efficient that slog; and does more practically useful stuff too
Can you compare it against zerolog?

Zerolog printing logs multiple times
Hello gophers, I am using https://github.com/uber-go/fx and https://github.com/rs/zerolog for logging.

Doubt around "Test only public functions" concept
Hovewer it is not bad to export such a function, if it is done purely for convenience. For example github.com/rs/zerolog works on a logger instances, which can be created manually, but they also provide a github.com/rs/zerolog/blob//log package, which provide you access to the global logger which is more convenient in most cases

Tools besides Go for a newbie
IDE: use whatever make you productive. I personally use vscode. VCS: git, as golang communities use github heavily as base for many libraries. AFAIK Linter: use staticcheck for linting as it looks like mostly used linting tool in go, supported by many also. In Vscode it will be recommended once you install go plugin. Libraries/Framework: actually the standard libraries already included many things you need, decent enough for your day-to-day development cycles(e.g. `net/http`). But here are things for extra: - Struct fields validator: validator - Http server lib: chi router , httprouter , fasthttp (for non standard http implementations, but fast) - Web Framework: echo , gin , fiber , beego , etc - Http client lib: most already covered by stdlib(net/http), so you rarely need extra lib for this, but if you really need some are: resty - CLI: cobra - Config: godotenv , viper - DB Drivers: sqlx , postgre , sqlite , mysql - nosql: redis , mongodb , elasticsearch - ORM: gorm , entgo , sqlc(codegen) - JS Transpiler: gopherjs - GUI: fyne - grpc: grpc - logging: zerolog - test: testify , gomock , dockertest - and many others you can find here

What is the common log library which is industry standard that is used in server applications?
I use zerolog myself and have seen it being used in production several times. Also they have a list of who uses zerolog

Log: A minimal, colorful Go logging library 🪵
This would be so awesome if it was extending an awesome logger like https://github.com/rs/zerolog. Personally I love zerolog because of how it handles different data types including structs!

Best Logging Library for Golang
logrus README recommended using other libraries such as Zerolog, Zap, and Apex.
- If you had to choose a logging framework, which one would you use?
What are some alternatives?
GJSON - Get JSON values quickly - JSON parser for Go
zap - Blazing fast, structured, leveled logging in Go.
sqlx - general purpose extensions to golang's database/sql
logrus - Structured, pluggable logging for Go.
