A Go library for populating Go objects with random values, useful for fuzz-style testing of serialization and panic robustness. It also integrates with dvyukov/go-fuzz to convert byte-slice inputs into structured objects.

Use cases

  • fuzz test go structs with random values
  • verify serialization round-trips on arbitrary objects
  • find inputs that make my code panic
  • convert go-fuzz byte slices into typed test inputs
  • populate maps and pointers with configurable nil chance

When to choose

  • you write Go tests and want randomized object population
  • you use dvyukov/go-fuzz and need structured input conversion

When to avoid

  • you need coverage-guided fuzzing itself - use go-fuzz or Go's native fuzzing
  • you need fuzzing for non-Go languages
