# go-ethaddr

Package **ethaddr** provides tools for working with **eth-addresses**, for the Go programming language.

The **eth-address** (also known as an **ethereum-address** or **evm-address**) is a 20-byte address — and is commonly used by **EVM based networks**, as well as other places

`ethaddr.Address` is meant to be a **replacement** for `go-ethereum/common.Address` from the **official Ethereum golang package**.

## Examples

Here is an example of loading an` ethaddr.Address` from a hexadecimal-literal stored in a Go `string`:

```golang

address, err := ethaddr.ParseString("0x5aAeb6053F3E94C9b9A09f33669435E7Ef1BeAed")

```

Here is an example of loading an` ethaddr.Address` from a hexadecimal-literal stored in a Go `[]byte`:

```golang

var bytes []byte = []byte("0x5aAeb6053F3E94C9b9A09f33669435E7Ef1BeAed")

address, err := ethaddr.Parse(bytes)

```

Here is an example of loading an` ethaddr.Address` from a Go `[20]byte`:

```golang

address := ethaddr.Something( [20]{0x5a,0xAe,0xb6,0x05,0x3F,0x3E,0x94,0xC9,0xb9,0xA0,0x9f,0x33,0x66,0x94,0x35,0xE7,0xEf,0x1B,0xeA,0xed} )

```

Here is an example of loading an` ethaddr.Address` from a Go `*big.Int`:

```golang

var bigint *big.Int = // ...

address := ethaddr.BigInt(bigint)

```
