age
A simple, modern and secure encryption tool (and Go library)
age is a security-oriented tool and library by Filo Sottile. age is a simple, modern, secure encryption utility (and Go library) that emphasizes minimal configuration and strong defaults. It provides small explicit keys, no complex options, and is designed for UNIX-style composability; you can pipe into it, integrate it into scripts, etc. It supports a clearly defined format and promotes interoperability across implementations (there are Rust, TypeScript, etc). The project is well-suited for personal data encryption, backup use-cases, scripting encryption workflows, and embedding encryption in tools. Because of its design philosophy, it avoids the bloat of many older encryption utilities while maintaining strong cryptographic hygiene. It’s especially useful for developers or system administrators who want to adopt encryption without learning a multitude of options. -

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. -

Traceway
The only tool you need to know what is happening and how to fix it
Traceway is an OpenTelemetry-native observability platform that brings logs, traces, metrics, exceptions, session replay, real user monitoring, and AI tracing into one open-source product. It is designed so teams can point an OTLP exporter at it without adding vendor-specific SDKs or extra collector glue. The platform is aimed at small and growing engineering teams that want practical visibility into what is happening inside their systems and how to fix issues faster. It can be self-hosted or used through a hosted cloud option, giving teams flexibility depending on their infrastructure preferences. Traceway’s value comes from combining multiple observability pillars around shared trace context instead of splitting debugging across many disconnected tools. It is a strong fit for teams that want an MIT-licensed, all-included monitoring stack without open-core restrictions. -

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. -

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. -

go-toml
Go library for the TOML file format
Go library for the TOML format. This library supports TOML v1.0.0. Full API, examples, and implementation notes are available in the Go documentation. As much as possible, this library is designed to behave similarly as the standard library's encoding/json. While go-toml favors usability, it is written with performance in mind. Most operations should not be shockingly slow. Decoder can be set to "strict mode", which makes it error when some parts of the TOML document was not present in the target structure. This is a great way to check for typos. When most decoding errors occur, go-toml returns DecodeError), which contains a human readable contextualized version of the error. TOML supports native local date/times. It allows to represent a given date, time, or date-time without relation to a timezone or offset. To support this use-case, go-toml provides LocalDate, LocalTime, and LocalDateTime. -

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. -

Casbin
An authorization library that supports access control models
An authorization library that supports access control models like ACL, RBAC, ABAC for Golang, Java, C/C++, Node.js, Javascript, PHP, Laravel, Python, .NET (C#), Delphi, Rust, Ruby, Swift (Objective-C), Lua (OpenResty), Dart (Flutter) and Elixir. In Casbin, an access control model is abstracted into a CONF file based on the PERM metamodel (Policy, Effect, Request, Matchers). So switching or upgrading the authorization mechanism for a project is just as simple as modifying a configuration. Besides memory and file, Casbin policy can be stored into lots of places. Currently, dozens of databases are supported, from MySQL, Postgres, Oracle to MongoDB, Redis, Cassandra, AWS S3. Check the full supported list at: adapters. Casbin is implemented in Golang, Java, PHP and Node.js. All implementations share the same API and behaviors. You can learn Casbin once and use it everywhere. In Casbin, the policy storage is implemented as an adapter(aka middleware for Casbin). -

Go Tools
Various packages and tools that support the Go programming language
This subrepository holds the source for various packages and tools that support the Go programming language. Some of the tools, godoc and vet for example, are included in binary Go distributions. Others, including the Go guru and the test coverage tool, can be fetched with go get. Packages include a type-checker for Go and an implementation of the Static Single Assignment form (SSA) representation for Go programs. This repository uses prettier to format JS and CSS files. The version of prettier used is 1.18.2. It is encouraged that all JS and CSS code be run through this before submitting a change. However, it is not a strict requirement enforced by CI. This repository uses Gerrit for code changes. -

GoDotEnv
A Go port of Ruby's dotenv library
A Go (golang) port of the Ruby dotenv project (which loads env vars from a .env file). Storing configuration in the environment is one of the tenets of a twelve-factor app. Anything that is likely to change between deployment environments–such as resource handles for databases or credentials for external services–should be extracted from the code into environment variables. But it is not always practical to set environment variables on development machines or continuous integration servers where multiple projects are run. Dotenv load variables from a .env file into ENV when the environment is bootstrapped. It can be used as a library (for loading in env for your own daemons etc) or as a bin command. There is test coverage and CI for both linuxish and windows environments, but I make no guarantees about the bin version working on windows. Existing envs take precedence of envs that are loaded later. -

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. -
16
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. -

Certificate Transparency Go
Auditing for TLS certificates (Go code)
certificate-transparency-go is a Go codebase for building and interacting with Certificate Transparency (CT) systems, from low-level parsing to full log operation. It includes forked ASN.1 and X.509 packages tailored to accept and analyze real-world certificates, including pre-certificates that stricter libraries would reject, supporting CT’s role as an ecosystem observatory. A TLS parsing library, CT data types, and multiple client libraries enable access to CT logs over HTTP and DNS, along with scanners for traversing entire logs. The repository also provides command-line tools for verifying signed certificate timestamps, inspecting certificates and CRLs, and querying logs. For operators, a “CT personality” integrates with Trillian so you can run a CT log backed by a verifiable transparency log. The project is structured for contributors, with generators, mocks, linting, and presubmit tooling to keep changes consistent and reliable. -

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. -

GopenPGP V3
A high-level OpenPGP library
GopenPGP V3 is a high-level OpenPGP cryptographic library developed by ProtonMail that provides a user-friendly API for common encryption and signing operations in Go, abstracting the complexity of the underlying OpenPGP standards and golang crypto primitives. This library lets developers perform key generation, message encryption and decryption, digital signing, and signature verification with straightforward functions that hide much of the boilerplate and nuance typically required when working directly with OpenPGP implementations. Built on top of a forked version of the Go crypto library, gopenpgp supports current OpenPGP RFC standards and includes examples for working with password-based encryption and PGP keys, as well as detached and inline signatures. Because it’s designed for broad use, the library also targets go-mobile compatibility, meaning it can support mobile app use cases alongside server and desktop tooling. -
