How to properly make a GET request and build QueryString in Go?
Hi everyone! I'm new to Go and trying to make a GET request to an API that requires query string parameters. For example, I need to send a request to `https://api.example.com/search?q=golang&page=1&limit=10`.
I tried doing it manually by just concatenating the string, but it looks terrible and seems wrong:
```go
package main
import (
"fmt"
"io/ioutil"
"net/http"
)
func main() {
url := "https://api.example.com/search?q=" + "golang" + "&page=" + "1" + "&limit="10"
resp, err := http.Get(url)
if err != nil {
panic(err)
}
defer resp.Body.Close()
body, _ := ioutil.ReadAll(resp.Body)
fmt.Println(string(body))
}
```
First, it's unsafe: if the `q` parameter contains spaces or special characters
