Compare: Node.js · Standard Go · gox

Node.js

// Typical archiver pattern in Node.js

Standard Go

// archive/zip or archive/tar from stdlib

gox

import "github.com/sahilkhaire/gox/archive"

err := archive.TarExtract(ctx, r, "./out")

Example

import "github.com/sahilkhaire/gox/archive"

err := archive.TarExtract(ctx, r, "./out")

Tips

Import github.com/sahilkhaire/gox/archive and call TarExtract directly. See the comparison below for the standard library equivalent.

Standard library alternative

gox wraps the Go standard library or a trusted dependency with Node-familiar naming. You can use the underlying library directly — see the package overview for escape hatches.
