The import keyword is used to import the packages inside our Go language program, or it is also used for importing the package into other packages.

Consider the below syntaxes:

If there is one package, we can import it in these two ways,

import "package_name"
import (
    "package_name"
)

If there are multiple packages to be imported, we can import them in these two ways,

import "package_name_1"
import "package_name_2"
...
import (
    "package_name_1"
    "package_name_2"
    ...
)

Consider the below example – In this example, we are importing two packages.

// The main package
package main

import (
	"fmt"
	"time"
)

// The main function
func main() {
	fmt.Println("Hello, world!")
	fmt.Println("The time is", time.Now())
}

Output:

Hello, world!
The time is 2009-11-10 23:00:00 +0000 UTC m=+0.000000001

An example of importing packages from github.com/eliben/modlib/clientlib

// The main package
package main

// Importing packages
import "fmt"
import "github.com/eliben/modlib"
import "github.com/eliben/modlib/clientlib"

// The main() function
func main() {
	fmt.Println(modlib.Config())
	fmt.Println(clientlib.Hello())
}

Output:

modlib config
clientlib hello
