Case insensitive string comparison in Go

Question

How do I compare strings in a case insensitive manner?

For example, "Go" and "go" should be considered equal.

https://golang.org/pkg/strings/#EqualFold is the function you are looking for. It is used like this (example from the linked documentation):

package main  import (     "fmt"     "strings" )  func main() {     fmt.Println(strings.EqualFold("Go", "go")) }
