Common enterprise features for the Go programming language (golang).

Expression Language API
GoEL expressions provide error free access to Go types. It serves as a lightweigth alternative to unified EL, SpEL or even XPath, CSS selectors and friends.
func FancyOneLiners() {
// Single field selection:
upper, applicable := el.Bool(`/CharSet[0x1F]/isUpperCase`, x)
// Escape path separator slash:
warnings := el.Strings(`/Report/Stats["I\x2fO"]/warn[*]`, x)
// Data modification:
el.Assign(x, `/Nodes[7]/Cache/TTL`, 3600)The implementation is optimized for performance. No need to precompile expressions.
# go test -bench=. -benchmem

Metrics API
Yet another StatsD implementation.
var Metrics = metrics.NewDummy()
func GetSomething(w http.ResponseWriter, r *http.Request) {
Metrics.Seen("http.something.gets", 1)
defer Metrics.Took("http.something.get", time.Now())Verification API
Test assertions on big objects can be cumbersome with reflect.DeepEqual and "Got %#v, want %#v".
Package verify offers convenience with reporting. For example verify.Values(t, "character", got, want) might print:
--- FAIL: TestValuesDemo (0.00s)
demo_test.go:72: verification for character:
/Novel[6]/Title: Got "Gold Finger", want "Goldfinger"
^
/Film[20]/Year: Got 1953 (0x7a1), want 2006 (0x7d6)
