Golang package to create nice tree representation of your data

Tree

This golang package creates a nice tree representation of your data:

First Root Node (1)
├── A child node (11)
├── Another child node (12)
│   └── A child child node (121)
│       └── A child child child node (1211)
└── Yet another one (13)
Second Root Node (2)
└── Yet another child node (21)

Usage

Just create a type for your tree which implements the tree.Tree interface (see for example the TestTree type used for testing):

type Tree interface {

	// Returns the top level nodes.
	RootNodes() []Node

	// Returns the children of the provided node.
	ChildrenNodes(Node) []Node
}

Then, provide an instance of this type to tree.String or tree.Write, depending if you prefer the whole tree as a string or progressively written to the output via an io.Writer.
