With a near-endless list of Go Modules, it can be overwhelming trying to decide which is best for your Go build. For new Go developers, it can be difficult to pick a winner for your specific use case.

Oftentimes, when a module is published by a developer, it was likely developed to solve a specific problem that they are facing.

One of the most useful ways for developers to measure the popularity of a module is by looking at the amount of Github stars that it has received. Another alternative for checking a module's popularity is by checking the number of times that it's been downloaded by others.
