GoFakeIt

What GoFakeIt is

GoFakeIt is an open-source Go library and toolkit for generating synthetic random data. The project lists more than 310 functions for values such as names, email addresses, phone numbers, companies, and credit card numbers. It can populate struct fields, with tags controlling the data assigned to each field. Developers may add custom functions, implement the Fakeable interface for their own types, and create formatted output with Go templates. An HTTP server and command-line tool are included, and the README describes the project as having zero dependencies. A seed enables reproducible results. The default generator uses a thread-locked pseudorandom source, while documented choices include crypto/rand, PCG, ChaCha8, JSF, SFC, and an incrementing source. GoFakeIt supports CSV, JSON, and XML output, API data generation, and self-hosted deployment. Installation uses `go get github.com/brianvoe/gofakeit/v7`; the README displays an MIT license badge.
