# webbrowser [](https://travis-ci.org/toqueteos/webbrowser) [](http://godoc.org/github.com/toqueteos/webbrowser)
|
|
|
|
webbrowser provides a simple API for opening web pages on your default browser. It's inspired on [Python's webbrowser](http://docs.python.org/3/library/webbrowser.html) 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`
|
|
|
|
## Usage
|
|
|
|
```go
|
|
package main
|
|
|
|
import "github.com/toqueteos/webbrowser"
|
|
|
|
func main() {
|
|
webbrowser.Open("http://golang.org")
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
That's it!
|
|
|
|
## Already disliking it?
|
|
|
|
No problem! There's alternative libraries that may be better to your needs:
|
|
|
|
- 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!
|
|
|
|
## 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 have not been tested yet (that I'm aware of).

## Thanks...

Miki Tebeka wrote a nicer version that wasn't on godoc.org when I did this, [check it out!](https://bitbucket.org/tebeka/go-wise/src/d8db9bf5c4d1/desktop.go?at=default).
