webbrowser

webbrowser provides a simple API for opening web pages on your default browser.

It's inspired on Python's webbrowser package but lacks some of its features (open new window).

It just opens a webpage, most browsers will open it on a new tab.

Installation

As simple as:

go get -u github.com/toqueteos/webbrowser

package main

import "github.com/toqueteos/webbrowser"

func main() {
    webbrowser.Open("http://golang.org")
}

That's it!

The package works on:

https://github.com/pkg/browser, it does what webbrowser does and more!
https://github.com/skratchdot/open-golang, it even provides a xdg-open implementation in case you don't have it!
