A Go library for parsing, comparing, sorting, and constraining Semantic Versions. It supports strict SemVer 2.0 parsing, coercion of loose versions, and constraint checks with tilde and caret ranges.

Use cases

  • parse semantic versions in go
  • compare version numbers in go
  • check if a version satisfies constraints like ^1.2.0
  • sort a list of versions
  • handle versions with a v prefix
  • validate semver strings

When to choose

  • you need robust semver parsing and constraint checking in a Go project
  • you need tilde/caret range compatibility with other ecosystems' tooling
  • you want a mature, widely used library (used by Helm and dep)

When to avoid

  • you need version handling in a language other than Go
  • you need full non-semver version scheme support (e.g., arbitrary versioning schemes)
