Error Handling in Go: 6 Effective Approaches

What's this blog post about?

Go treats errors as values that can be returned from functions instead of using exceptions. This approach emphasizes explicit error handling over implicit exception handling, leading to clearer code and better error management practices. Some effective approaches for error handling in Go include the built-in error type, returning error values, error wrapping, custom error types, logging errors, panic, and recover. These techniques promote clarity and reliability, helping developers build maintainable applications in Go.
