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.

It is licensed under the MIT open source license, please see the LICENSE.txt file for more information.

Crossplatform support

The package is guaranteed to work on windows, linux and darwin. It also has default support for freebsd, openbsd and netbsd but these three hasn't been tested yet.

Installation

Copy & Paste fans: go get github.com/toqueteos/webbrowser

Usage

Just import the package (after you got it):

import "github.com/toqueteos/webbrowser"

Then use the Open function.

webbrowser.Open("http://golang.org")

Just in case, you have a very simple example on examples/simple.go.

Extras

Miki Tebeka wrote a nicer version that wasn't on godoc.org when I did this. Check it out!
