What it is AI-extracted, prompt v1, taxonomy v1, 2026-08-30, confidence not recorded

A Go package that represents a list of error values as a single error, with human-readable formatting and utilities like Append, Flatten, Prefix, and a concurrent Group pattern. It is now in maintenance mode since Go 1.20's errors.Join covers basic aggregation.

Use cases

  • combine multiple errors into one return value in Go
  • collect errors from concurrent goroutines
  • format a list of errors readably
  • append errors while iterating over operations
  • flatten nested error lists

When to choose

  • you need custom error formatting or Prefix/Flatten helpers
  • you need concurrent error collection via Group
  • you're maintaining an existing codebase already using it

When to avoid

  • starting a new Go project that only needs basic error joining (use errors.Join)
  • you only need the first error from concurrent tasks (use errgroup)
