A community-driven collection of code examples for Go standard library package functions, organized as one directory per package and one markdown file per function. It exists because the official Go documentation has too few usage examples, forcing developers to read source code to learn APIs.

Use cases

• learn how to use Go standard library functions with examples
• find usage examples for functions like strings.Contains
• supplement sparse official Go documentation
• contribute examples for undocumented Go packages
• quickly understand Go pkg APIs without reading source code

When to choose

• you are learning Go and need concrete usage examples for standard library functions
• official docs are too sparse and you want copy-pasteable, tested snippets
• you want to contribute examples to a community Go documentation effort

When to avoid

• you need comprehensive, always-up-to-date API reference (use pkg.go.dev instead)
• you need examples for third-party Go packages rather than the standard library
• you need a runnable library or tool rather than documentation
