For example, it would be great to take any report result from the struct, add it to metrics counter (e.g. Prometheus).
Of course, I can write a CLI wrapper, but it requires too string manipulation and hard to maintain.
Disclaimer
I understand that the report class was initially designed as an implementation detail, and rakyll/hey's responsibility is to simply show simple & nice text-based graph in UTF-8.
However, as rakyll/hey is getting popular, it would be great that this library supports more flexible output for programmers who want to use the power of rakyll/hey much more.
Solution
Here are some suggestions:
Simply make the report struct public (s/report/Report)
Add a new public method and show report-like struct (this can be copy of report struct)
Add a new package to handle output format other than requester package
Background
I am writing a benchmark application server using Go. The app wants to run load testing against both gRPC/HTTP application.
It would be great if report struct becomes public interface so that we can access each data programmatically.
