Package bytez provides utilities for working with byte slices. It aims to extend the standard library bytes package with additional functionality.

go get -u ezpkg.io/bytez@v0.2.2

The stdlib bytes.Buffer provides many functions that always return nil error. They have their counterparts in bytez.Buffer that eliminate the need of error handling.

// stdlib: bytes.Buffer
_, err = b.WriteString()
if err != nil {
	return err
}
_, err = fmt.Fprintf(&b, "Hello, %s!", "world")
if err != nil {
	return err
}

// ezpkg.io/bytez.Buffer
b.WriteStringZ()
b.Printf("Hello, %s!", "world")

As I work on various Go projects, I often find myself creating utility functions, extending existing packages, or developing packages to solve specific problems. Moving from one project to another, I usually have to copy or rewrite these solutions. So I created this repository to have all these utilities and packages in one place. Hopefully, you'll find them useful as well.
