gostand

Commonly used constants names for Go

Motivation

This package aims lacking of commonly used constants for Go from various contexts like net, http etc. No more "application/json", "Content-Length" etc. manual declarations.

Idea

The idea is to provide widely used constants names for common packages as nicely companions.

This package follow the convention that every package name in gostand begins with underscore("_") to avoid collisions and provide smooth companion for other packages.

For instance _net, _http, _os etc. This concept will provide possibility to add common constant to existing packages like net, net/http, os and others.

Instalation
