## What it is
go.rice is a Go package for bundling static resources like HTML, JS, CSS, images, and templates into Go binaries. It loads files from disk during development and embeds or appends them into executables at build time via the accompanying 'rice' CLI tool.

## Use cases
- embed static assets into a single Go binary
- serve embedded static files over HTTP in Go
- bundle HTML templates into an executable
- ship a Go web app as one deployable binary without source files

## When to choose
- you need to distribute a Go web application as a single self-contained binary
- you want assets to load from disk during development but embed on release

## When to avoid
- you are starting a new project - Go's built-in embed package covers this natively
- the project appears to be in maintenance mode with limited recent activity

## Facets
- artifact type: library
- maturity: maintenance
- function: file-system, http-server, templating, build-tool
- domain: web-development, developer-tools
- platform: go, cross-platform
- tags: asset-embedding, static-assets, single-binary, go-embed
