My first significant code written in the Go Language.

Data is expected to live at https://s3-us-west-2.amazonaws.com/sample-coding-dataset/organization_sample_data.csv. This is hard-coded as a constant

The data consists of the fields id, name, city, state, postal, category with a header

All fields are strings except id, which is int.

Assumptions: The id field is unique.

GET /organizations?category=Greek&city=Washington

Id: numeric id Name: string : organization name City: string : US city name State: string : US state name Postal: string : US postal code Category: string : categorization of org

Orderby: string: fieldname to order the results by Direction: string: ASC or DSC

A simple http router https://github.com/julienschmidt/httprouter

• There's not much error handling
• While HTTP query parameters could allow multiple values for the same parameter, this implementation only looks at the first one.
• I'm not 100% sure I have Go's json encoding correct
• The data structures are primitive, and the mapping from the csv table to data is not at all robust
• It's not very idiomatic Go.
