Hi. I created this library: https://github.com/georgysavva/scany. It allows developers to scan complex data from a database into Go structs and other composite types with just one function call and don't bother with rows iteration. scany isn't limited to any specific database. It integrates with `database/sql`, so any database with database/sql driver is supported. It also works with https://github.com/jackc/pgx - specific library for PostgreSQL. Apart from the out of the box support, scany can be easily extended to work with almost any database library. The library is feature-rich, well documented and tested.
