Credits

A lot of the ideas for the errors package are from these articles and talks:

• "Error handling in Upspin" by Rob Pike and Andrew Gerrand.
• "Failure is your Domain" by Ben Johnson.
• "Handling Go errors" by Marwan Sulaiman from GopherCon 2019.

The JSON decoder implementation in the httputil package is based on "How to Parse a JSON Request Body in Go" by Alex Edwards.

The URL builder in the httputil package drew some inspiration from https://github.com/balazsbotond/urlcat.
