## Package Organization

### Standard Project Layout

```text
myproject/
├── cmd/
│   └── myapp/
│       └── main.go           # Entry point
├── internal/
│   ├── handler/              # HTTP handlers
│   ├── service/              # Business logic
│   ├── repository/           # Data access
│   └── config/               # Configuration
├── pkg/
│   └── client/               # Public API client
├── api/
│   └── v1/                   # API definitions (proto, OpenAPI)
├── testdata/                 # Test fixtures
├── go.mod
├── go.sum
└── Makefile
```

### Package Naming

```go
// Good: Short, lowercase, no underscores
package http
package json
package user

// Bad: Verbose, mixed case, or redundant
package httpHandler
package json_parser
package userService // Redundant 'Service' suffix
```

### Avoid Package-Level State

```go
// Bad: Global mutable state
var db *sql.DB

func init() {
    db, _ = sql.Open("postgres", os.Getenv("DATABASE_URL"))
}

// Good: Dependency injection
type Server struct {
    db *sql.DB
}

func NewServer(db *sql.DB) *Server {
    return &Server{db: db}
}
```
