The Go Programming Language

10.4 Import Declarations

A Go source file may contain zero or more import declarations immediately after the package declaration and before the first non-import declaration. Each import declaration may specify the import path of a single package, or multiple packages in a parenthesized list. The two forms below are equivalent but the second form is more common.

import "fmt"
import "os"

import (
    "fmt"
    "os"
)

Imported packages may be grouped by introducing blank lines; such groupings usually indicate different domains. The order is not significant, but by convention the lines of each group are sorted alphabetically. (Both gofmt and goimports will group and sort for you.)

import ( "fmt" "html/template" "os" "golang.org/x/net/html" "golang.org/x/net/ipv4" ...
