Jennifer is a Go library for generating Go source code programmatically via a fluent API. It handles identifiers, imports, and rendering with automatic import management and package-name conflict resolution.

Use cases

  • generate go source code from templates
  • write a code generator for go
  • generate boilerplate go code programmatically
  • emit go code with automatic import handling
  • build scaffolding tools for golang

When to choose

  • you need to generate valid Go code from Go programs with automatic import management
  • you want a fluent, type-safe DSL for constructing Go syntax

When to avoid

  • you need to parse or transform existing Go code rather than generate it
  • you are generating code for languages other than Go
