Go bindings for Windows COM/OLE implemented via shared libraries instead of cgo. It lets Go programs call COM interfaces and automate Windows applications like Excel.
Use cases
- automate excel from go
- call com interfaces in golang
- windows ole automation without cgo
- interact with win32 com api from go
- script windows applications with go
When to choose
- you need COM/OLE interop in a Go program on Windows
- you want to avoid cgo and its build complexity
- you need to automate Windows desktop apps like Excel
When to avoid
- your code must run on Linux or macOS, since COM is Windows-only
- you need heavy multithreading without extra COM apartment management
- you are not targeting the Windows platform
