How to compare two version number strings in golang

Some time ago I created a version comparison library: https://github.com/mcuadros/go-version

version.CompareSimple("1.05.00.0156", "1.0.221.9289")
//Returns: 1

Enjoy it!

There is a nice solution from Hashicorp - https://github.com/hashicorp/go-version

import github.com/hashicorp/go-version
v1, err := version.NewVersion("1.2")
v2, err := version.NewVersion("1.5+metadata")
// Comparison example. There is also GreaterThan, Equal, and just
// a simple Compare that returns an int allowing easy >=, <=, etc.
if v1.LessThan(v2) {
    fmt.Printf("%s is less than %s", v1, v2)
}
