errorx is a comprehensive error handling library for Go that provides rich error implementations with stack traces, composable error types, and robust type/trait checks. It aims to improve on Go's standard error patterns by adding debug context and expressive error classification.

Use cases

• add stack traces to errors in go
• create typed errors in go
• wrap errors with context without changing semantics
• check error kinds instead of comparing error values
• improve error messages in go logs
• build composable error hierarchies in go

When to choose

• you need rich, debuggable errors with stack traces in Go
• you want error classification via types and traits rather than sentinel comparisons
• you want a mature, MIT-licensed alternative to pkg/errors

When to avoid

• you only need simple error wrapping available in the Go standard library
• your project must minimize external dependencies
• you need errors compatible with errors.Is/As across third-party libraries without adaptation
