A Go library for encoding structs into URL query parameters with type safety.
go-querystring is a Go library that encodes Go structs into URL query parameters. It solves the problem of manually constructing query strings by providing a type-safe, structured approach to URL parameter generation, commonly used in API clients and web applications.
Go developers building API clients, web services, or applications that need to generate URLs with query parameters from structured data.
Developers choose go-querystring for its simplicity, type safety, and seamless integration with Go's struct system, eliminating manual string concatenation and reducing encoding errors.

Leverages Go's type system to ensure query parameters are correctly typed, preventing runtime encoding errors common in manual string concatenation.
Centered around a single `Values()` function, making it easy to integrate and reducing the learning curve for developers.
Supports `url` struct tags to alias field names, providing flexibility in parameter naming without modifying struct definitions.
Handles standard Go types including strings, booleans, integers, and slices, covering most common use cases for query string generation.
Lacks support for decoding query strings back into structs, as noted in the README, requiring separate libraries for full round-trip operations.
Requires defining structs for all parameter sets, which can be cumbersome for ad-hoc or highly dynamic parameter generation scenarios.
Does not provide hooks for custom encoding logic or support for complex nested structures beyond basic slices, limiting flexibility in edge cases.
