GoCharts

GoCharts is a library to assist with building charts, by directly working with charting libraries, generating tabular data for Excel XLSX files and CSV files, or to transfer data to/from analytics solutions like Metabase and SimpleKPI.

It includes two sets of packages:

1. data structures to generically hold and manipulate different types of data
2. chart library helpers to make generating charts eaiser, often times using data structures mentioned above
