Tweet - #golang twitter api recommendations / experiences? twitterfetcher, anaconda, twittergo? Thinking twittergo - more examples. Thoughts?

@rndmio -> @sharpic I’ve used anaconda a couple of times, I prefer functions to crafting URLs and having to parse the results (twittergo).

So on this advice I think I’ll use anaconda.

Probably need to use json for data saving and exchanging - spec at http://json.org/ and go package at: http://golang.org/pkg/encoding/json/ import “encoding/json” more at http://blog.golang.org/json-and-go - go encoding in general looks interesting

encoding

Package encoding defines interfaces shared by other packages that convert data to and from byte-level and textual representations.

-      ascii85 - Package ascii85 implements the ascii85 data encoding as used in the btoa tool and Adobe's PostScript and PDF document formats.

-      asn1- Package asn1 implements parsing of DER-encoded ASN.1 data structures, as defined in ITU-T Rec X.690.

-      base32 - Package base32 implements base32 encoding as specified by RFC 4648.

-      base64 - Package base64 implements base64 encoding as specified by RFC 4648.

-      binary - Package binary implements simple translation between numbers and byte sequences and encoding and decoding of variants.

-      csv - Package csv reads and writes comma-separated values (CSV) files.

-      gob - Package gob manages streams of gobs - binary values exchanged between an Encoder (transmitter) and a Decoder (receiver).

-      hex - Package hex implements hexadecimal encoding and decoding.

-      json - Package json implements encoding and decoding of JSON objects as defined in RFC 4627.

-      pem - Package pem implements the PEM data encoding, which originated in Privacy Enhanced Mail.

-      xml -Package xml implements a simple XML 1.0 parser that understands XML name spaces.
