The main purpose of this project is to provide a library to make it easier to
query financial information with OFX from the comfort of Golang, without having
to marshal/unmarshal to SGML or XML. The library does *not* intend to abstract
to marshal/unmarshal to SGML or XML. The library does _not_ intend to abstract
away all of the details of the OFX specification, which would be difficult to do
well. Instead, it exposes the OFX SGML/XML hierarchy as structs which mostly
resemble it. Its primary goal is to enable the creation of other personal

Similarly, if you have an OFX file available locally, you can parse it directly:
```go
func main() {
f, err := os.Open("./transactions.qfx")
if err != nil {
fmt.Printf("can't open file: %v\n", err)
return
}
defer f.Close()
resp, err := ofxgo.ParseResponse(f)
if err != nil {
fmt.Printf("can't parse response: %v\n", err)
return
}
// do something with resp (*ofxgo.Response)
}
```
## Requirements
OFXGo requires go >= 1.12
