How to compare two version number strings in golang

Question

I have two strings (they are actually version numbers and they could be any version numbers)

a := \"1.05.00.0156\"  
b := \"1.0.221.9289\"

Answer 1

Here are some of the libraries for version comparison:

1. https://github.com/blang/semver
2. https://github.com/Masterminds/semver
3. https://github.com/hashicorp/go-version
4. https://github.com/mcuadros/go-version

I have used blang/semver. Eg: https://play.golang.org/p/1zZvEjLSOAr

 import github.com/blang/semver/v4
 
  v1, err := semver.Make("1.0.0-beta")
  v2, err := semver.Make("2.0.0-beta")
 
  // Options availabe
  v1.Compare(v2)  // Compare
  v1.LT(v2)       // LessThan
  v1.GT(v2)       // GreaterThan
