I've only ever used GO mysql by talking directly to the database.
But if you want an API (especially one which helps you build a nice
viewer) you might want to look at GOET:

[sorry, I can't find a proper website at the moment. Although
it uses the org.goet namespace, www.goet.org appears to be owned
by the Global Organization for Ethical Time Travel]
