PyPI Package Disguised as Instagram Growth Tool Harvests User Credentials
A deceptive PyPI package posing as an Instagram growth tool collects user credentials and sends them to third-party bot services.
github.com/google/go-querystring
go-querystring is a Go library for encoding structs into URL query parameters.
import "github.com/google/go-querystring/query"
go-querystring is designed to assist in scenarios where you want to construct a URL using a struct that represents the URL query parameters. You might do this to enforce the type safety of your parameters, for example, as is done in the go-github library.
The query package exports a single Values()
function. A simple example:
type Options struct {
Query string `url:"q"`
ShowAll bool `url:"all"`
Page int `url:"page"`
}
opt := Options{ "foo", true, 2 }
v, _ := query.Values(opt)
fmt.Print(v.Encode()) // will output: "q=foo&all=true&page=2"
See the package godocs for complete documentation on supported types and formatting options.
If you are looking for a library that can both encode and decode query strings, you might consider one of these alternatives:
