What it is AI-extracted, prompt v1, taxonomy v1, 2026-08-30, confidence not recorded

The source code of pkg.go.dev, the official website for discovering and evaluating Go packages and modules, plus a local documentation server program. The pkgsite CLI extracts and generates documentation for Go projects and exposes a REST API for package, module, version, symbol, and vulnerability information.

Use cases

  • serve local Go package documentation in the browser
  • browse docs for a Go module offline
  • search for Go packages and modules
  • look up which packages import a given Go package
  • query package and module metadata via a REST API
  • check vulnerabilities for a Go module

When to choose

  • you want to view or generate documentation for Go projects locally
  • you need programmatic access to Go package/module metadata
  • you want to self-host a pkg.go.dev-like documentation server

When to avoid

  • you need documentation hosting for non-Go languages
  • you want a general-purpose static site generator
  • you only need godoc output without a server
