Kolpa – A fake data generator for Go

There are libraries already out there that do 95% of what this library does. Below you can find projects that existed for 5 and 3 years, respectively.

https://godoc.org/github.com/icrowley/fake

https://godoc.org/github.com/manveru/faker

I am not sure what functionality this package provides differently, other than the localization support, which could have been easily proposed to existing libraries.

Main goal is to have a library that provides more than these libraries you mentioned provide. Datetime generation and User Agent generation are basic samples of this aim at this time. It would not be looking good if it wasn't providing most needed data types like Name and Address while providing other specific data. Thanks for the comment!

There are also other language libraries for this purpose. I used Elizabeth some time ago https://lk-geimfari.github.io/elizabeth/
