How to get a MD5 hash from a string in Golang?

Question

This is how I started to get a md5 hash from a string:

import "crypto/md5"  var original = "my string comes here" var hash = md5.New(original) 

But obviously this is not how it works. Can someone provide me a working sample for this?

Answer 1

Reference Sum，For me，following work well：

package main  import (     "crypto/md5"     "fmt" )  func main() {     data := []byte("hello")     fmt.Printf("%x", md5.Sum(data)) } 

Answer 2

import (     "crypto/md5"     "encoding/hex" )  func GetMD5Hash(text string) string {    hash := md5.Sum([]byte(text))    return hex.EncodeToString(hash[:]) }
