ezpkg.io/bytez

Collection of packages and tools to make writing Go code easier.

Introduction

As I work on various Go projects, I often find myself creating utility functions, extending existing packages, or developing packages to solve specific problems. Moving from one project to another, I usually have to copy or rewrite these solutions. So I created this repository to have all these utilities and packages in one place. Hopefully, you'll find them useful as well.

These packages aim to enhance the functionality of the standard library and other popular packages. They are intended to be used together with other packages rather than replacing them. The APIs are designed based on my experience working with Go, focusing on simplicity and ease of use. I will try to follow best practices in Go, but not always. I also tend to choose a more performance implementation if possible.

Package bytez provides utilities for working with byte slices. It aims to extend the standard library bytes package with additional functionality.

Examples

bytez.Buffer

The stdlib bytes.Buffer provides many functions that always return nil error. They have their counterparts in bytez.Buffer that eliminate the need of error handling.

// stdlib: bytes.Buffer
_, err = b.WriteString()
if err != nil {
	return err
}
_, err = fmt.Fprintf(&b, "Hello, %s!", "world")
if err != nil {
	return err
}

// ezpkg.io/bytez.Buffer
b.WriteStringZ()
b.Printf("Hello, %s!", "world")
