- # webbrowser [![Build Status](https://travis-ci.org/toqueteos/webbrowser.png?branch=master)](https://travis-ci.org/toqueteos/webbrowser) [![GoDoc](http://godoc.org/github.com/toqueteos/webbrowser?status.png)](http://godoc.org/github.com/toqueteos/webbrowser) [![Sourcegraph](https://sourcegraph.com/github.com/toqueteos/webbrowser/-/badge.svg)](https://sourcegraph.com/github.com/toqueteos/webbrowser?badge)
-
- 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:
-
- ```bash
- 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!
-
- ## Crossplatform support
-
- The package works on:
-
- - [x] `android` (verified by 3rd party)
- - [x] `darwin`
- - [x] `freebsd` (verified by 3rd party)

- ## 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).
-
- ## 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!
