Parsing S3 URI into bucket and key in Go [closed]

Question

There doesn't seem to be a function in the official AWS Go SDK that'll parse an s3:// style URI-like string (i.e. s3://mybucket/some/place/on/there.gz) and provide things like the bucket and key. The Java SDK has such a function. Am I missing an obvious reason why the Go SDK does not?

This question is about maintaining compatibility. An SDK function provides a clear authority on how to properly parse S3 addresses and deters worry over subtle cases that url.Parse() and ilk may miss.

Answer 1

Though only the AWS devs can answer the actual question (why isn't this included in the SDK), there is the simple answer: S3 URLs are URLs, and you can use net/url to parse them:

u,_ := url.Parse("s3://mybucket/some/place/on/there.gz")
fmt.Printf("proto: %q, bucket: %q, key: %q", u.Scheme, u.Host, u.Path)
