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. -

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. -

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. -

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 Meta Linter
Runs a whole bunch of those linters and normalizes their output
Go Meta Linter is a deprecated Go meta-linter that was created to run many Go static analysis tools at the same time. It normalizes their results into one consistent output format so editors, IDEs, and CI systems can read problems more easily. The tool helps developers catch issues such as unused code, unchecked errors, duplicated code, style problems, security concerns, and suspicious compiler-level behavior. It supports a broad collection of linters and lets users customize which checks run for each project. It can also be configured through a JSON file, which makes it easier to share linting rules across a team. Although the project is archived and users are directed toward golangci-lint, it remains a useful example of early Go lint aggregation. -

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. -

Cobra
A Commander for modern Go CLI interactions
Cobra is a library for creating powerful modern CLI applications, and at the same time a program to generate applications and command files. It provides a simple interface for creating powerful CLI interfaces, and will also generate application scaffolding so you can quickly develop your Cobra-based application. This scaffolding includes easy subcommand-based CLIs, fully POSIX-compliant flags, global, local and cascading flags, among many others. The structure of Cobra is based on commands, flags and arguments. The commands represent actions, the central point of the application; flags modify the behavior of commands; while arguments are things. With these easy-to-use concepts, users will natively understand how to use the application. -

go-datastructures
A collection of useful, performant, and threadsafe Go datastructures
Go-datastructures is a collection of useful, performant, and threadsafe Go datastructures. Interval tree for collision in n-dimensional ranges. Implemented via a red-black augmented tree. Extra dimensions are handled in simultaneous inserts/queries to save space although this may result in suboptimal time complexity. Intersection determined using bit arrays. In a single dimension, inserts, deletes, and queries should be in O(log n) time. Bitarray used to detect existence without having to resort to hashing with hashmaps. Requires entities have a uint64 unique identifier. Two implementations exist, regular and sparse. Sparse saves a great deal of space but insertions are O(log n). There are some useful functions on the BitArray interface to detect intersection between two bitarrays. This package also includes bitmaps of length 32 and 64 that provide increased speed and O(1) for all operations by storing the bitmaps in unsigned integers rather than arrays. -

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. -
