AndroidLibXrayLite
Lightweight Android library that bundles the Xray networking core
AndroidLibXrayLite is a lightweight Android library that bundles the Xray networking core as an embeddable component for apps. Its purpose is to provide a minimal, size-optimized build of the native core with a clear Java/Kotlin interface to start, stop, and configure network tunnels. By exposing the core as an AAR with per-ABI artifacts, it keeps application footprints small while supporting common CPU architectures. The library abstracts process management and log streaming so host apps can control lifecycles and capture diagnostics. It’s particularly useful for developers who want to integrate secure, rule-based proxying into their own Android apps without re-implementing the native glue. With a focus on stability and easy updates, it shortens the path from concept to a working in-app networking stack. -

env
A simple and zero-dependencies library to parse environment variables
Parse environment variables to structs in Go. In Go, it’s dead simple to get the value from an environment variable. If you have a type that is not supported out of the box by the lib, you are able to use (or define) and pass custom parsers (and their associated reflect.Type) to the env.ParseWithFuncs() function. Env supports by default anything that implements the TextUnmarshaler interface. That includes things like time.Time for example. The upside is that depending on the format you need, you don't need to change anything. The downside is that if you do need time in another format, you'll need to create your own type. By default, slice types will split the environment value on ,; you can change this behavior by setting the envSeparator tag. If you set the envExpand tag, environment variables (either in ${var} or $var format) in the string will be replaced according with the actual value of the variable. -

Functional programming library golang
functional programming library for golang
This library aims to provide a set of data types and functions that make it easy and fun to write maintainable and testable code in Golang. Write many small, testable, and pure functions, i.e. functions that produce output only depending on their input and that do not execute side effects. Offer helpers to isolate side effects into lazily executed functions (IO). Expose a consistent set of compositions to create new functions from existing ones. For each data type, there exists a small set of composition functions. These functions are called the same across all data types, so you only have to learn a small number of function names. The semantic of functions of the same name is consistent across all data types. -

Vegeta
HTTP load testing tool and library. It's over 9000!
Vegeta is a versatile HTTP load testing tool built out of a need to drill HTTP services with a constant request rate. It can be used both as a command line utility and a library. You can install Vegeta using the Homebrew package manager on Mac OS X. Both the library and the CLI are versioned with SemVer v2.0.0. After v8.0.0, the two components are versioned separately to better isolate breaking changes to each. CLI releases are tagged with cli/vMAJOR.MINOR.PATCH and published on the Github releases page. As for the library, new versions are tagged with both lib/vMAJOR.MINOR.PATCH and vMAJOR.MINOR.PATCH. The latter tag is required for compatibility with go mod. The JSON format makes integration with programs that produce targets dynamically easier. Each target is one JSON object in its own line. The method and url fields are required. If present, the body field must be base64 encoded. The generated JSON Schema defines the format in detail. -

go-github
Go library for accessing the GitHub API
go-github is a Go client library for accessing the GitHub API v3. Currently, go-github requires Go version 1.13 or greater. go-github tracks Go's version support policy. We do our best not to break older versions of Go if we don't have to, but due to tooling constraints, we don't always test older versions. If you're interested in using the GraphQL API v4, the recommended library is shurcooL/githubv4. go-github is compatible with modern Go releases in module mode. Resolve and add the package to the current development module, along with its dependencies. Alternatively the same can be achieved if you use import in a package. Construct a new GitHub client, then use the various services on the client to access different parts of the GitHub API. Some API methods have optional parameters that can be passed. Using the context package, one can easily pass cancelation signals and deadlines to various services of the client for handling a request. -

Go Container Registry
Go library and CLIs for working with container registries
go-containerregistry is a Go library (with companion tools) for interacting with container images and registries using OCI/Docker formats. It provides primitives to read, write, mutate, sign, and copy images and indexes across registries without shelling out to Docker. High-level utilities like crane and gcrane offer convenient CLIs for everyday tasks—listing tags, copying images between registries, flattening, creating tarballs, and more. The library handles authentication via a pluggable keychain system that understands Docker config files, credential helpers, and environment credentials. It understands multiple on-disk layouts (tarball, OCI layout, remote) and lets you transform images in memory by adding or rebasing layers, adjusting config, and annotating manifests. Because everything is regular Go code, it’s straightforward to embed in CI/CD systems, policy engines, and bespoke supply-chain tooling. -

XLSX
Go (golang) library for reading and writing XLSX files
xlsx is a library to simplify reading and writing the XML format used by recent version of Microsoft Excel in Go programs. Version 3.0.0 introduces some more breaking changes in the API. All methods that can return an `xlsx.File` struct now accept zero, one or many `xlsx.FileOption` functions as their final arguments. These can be used to modify the behavior of the resultant struct, in particular they replace the `…WithRowLimit` variants of those methods with the result of calling `xlsx.RowLimit` and they add the ability to define a custom backing store for the spreadsheet data to be held in whilst processing. The full API docs can be viewed using go’s built in documentation tool. -

retry
Simple golang library for retry mechanism
Simple library for retry mechanism. Context allow to set context of retry default are Background context. Return the direct last error that came from the retried function default is false (return wrapped errors with everything) WithTimer provides a way to swap out timer module implementations. This primarily is useful for mocking/testing, where you may not want to explicitly wait for a set duration for retries. DelayTypeFunc is called to return the next delay to wait after the retriable function fails on err after n attempts. FixedDelay is a DelayType that keeps delay the same through all iterations. DelayTypeFunc accepts a new parameter err - this breaking change affects only your custom Delay Functions. RetryIf controls whether a retry should be attempted after an error (assuming there are any retry attempts remaining). -

eBPF
ebpf-go is a pure-Go library to read, modify and load eBPF programs
Package ebpf is a toolkit for working with eBPF programs. eBPF programs are small snippets of code which are executed directly in a VM in the Linux kernel, which makes them very fast and flexible. Many Linux subsystems now accept eBPF programs. This makes it possible to implement highly application-specific logic inside the kernel, without having to modify the actual kernel itself. This package is designed for long-running processes which want to use eBPF to implement part of their application logic. It has no run-time dependencies outside of the library and the Linux kernel itself. eBPF code should be compiled ahead of time using clang, and shipped with your application as any other resource. Use the link subpackage to attach a loaded program to a hook in the kernel. Note that losing all references to Map and Program resources will cause their underlying file descriptors to be closed, potentially removing those objects from the kernel.
