Tizzy

An in-memory copy of time.LoadLocation(), nothing original simply a workaround for when you find your code calling time.LoadLocation() at 1khz. This avoids opening a zip file on disk to unmarshal files containing bindata every call.

The timezone locations are loaded from $GOROOT/lib/time/zoneinfo.zip, the default for unix and windows.

Only supports go 1.10

Usage

    import "github.com/panamafrancis/tizzy"

    ...

    loc, err := tizzy.LoadLocation("Europe/Berlin")
    
    //or faster...
    
    locv, err := tizzy.LoadLocationValue("Europe/Berlin")

TODO

• Support all operating systems, not just assume $GOROOT/lib/time/zoneinfo.zip exists.
