golang/net (golang.org/x/net) is the official supplementary networking library for Go, maintained by the Go team. It provides packages beyond the standard library such as HTTP/2, WebSockets, proxies, and other network protocol support.

Use cases

  • add http2 support to a go server
  • use websockets in go
  • connect through a proxy in go
  • supplementary networking packages for go
  • parse html in go
  • idna and punycode handling in go

When to choose

  • you need networking features not in Go's standard library
  • you want official, well-maintained Go networking packages
  • you need HTTP/2, WebSocket, or proxy support in Go

When to avoid

  • you need a high-level application framework rather than low-level libraries
  • your needs are fully covered by the standard net/http package
