Going

For those who write Go and need to get going quick!

Introduction

This repository is a collection of packages designed to reduce the verbosity of everyday tasks. For example, instead of having to set up an osfile and err block to read a file, file.Read(string) ([]byte, error) takes care of it in a single function call.

Packages

This repository contains the packages described below.

crypt

This package simplifies encrypting, decrypting, and hashing of data. For example, cryptographic hashes, such as MD5 and SHA1, take in a simple []byte and return a simple []byte (as opposed to [N]byte, that is, a sized array). This saves the writer the step of having to save an array as an addressable variable only to convert it to a slice immediately afterward.

file

This package provides functions for easy reading, writing, and appending data from or to files.
