Question 1

How to handle JSON requests and responses with go-dry?

Accepted Answer

Use HTTPRespondMarshalJSON for compressed JSON responses and HTTPUnmarshalRequestBodyJSON for parsing request bodies. These helpers simplify web server development by integrating compression and marshaling in one call.

Question 2

go-dry vs standard Go libraries for file operations?

Accepted Answer

go-dry adds convenience with functions like FileCopyDir and FileGetNonEmptyLines, but the standard library offers more control and explicit error handling. Choose go-dry for rapid development where boilerplate reduction is key.

Question 3

Is go-dry's SyncMap thread-safe for concurrent use?

Accepted Answer

Yes, SyncMap provides thread-safe operations for maps, as documented with methods like AddString. It wraps synchronization internally, making it easier to manage shared data in goroutines.

Question 4

How to migrate from go-quick to go-dry?

Accepted Answer

The README notes that go-dry replaces go-quick, so update imports and check for API changes. Review the documentation for equivalent functions, as some signatures or behaviors might have been updated.

Question 5

Best practices for using go-dry ErrorList in projects?

Accepted Answer

Use ErrorList to collect errors from multiple operations, then check Err() at the end. It's ideal for batch processing, but for critical errors, consider standard error propagation to avoid masking issues.

Question 6

Does go-dry support secure AES encryption?

Accepted Answer

It provides AES encryption/decryption with cipher block pooling, but always validate inputs and follow security best practices externally, as the README cautions against relying on its hash functions for cryptography.
