referer-parser Go library

This is the Go implementation of referer-parser, the library for extracting search marketing data from referer (sic) URLs.

The implementation uses the shared 'database' of known referers found in referers.yml.

The Go version of referer-parser is maintained by Thomas Sileo.

  r := refererparser.Parse(referer_url)

  log.Printf("Known:%v", r.Known)
