go-api-chuck

The Chuck Norris API is a simple web API with several endpoints, which returns Chuck Norris jokes. It has no authentication requirements, and hence is a good starting point for the development of the go-api package.

This go-api-chuck package provides an interface for the Chuck Norris API, using go-api to communicate with the API.
