An easy-to-use Go parser for the Toml format.
This parser was last tested on TOML version 3f4224ecdc4a65fdd28b4fb70d46f4c0bd3700aa
It correctly parses both the example.toml and hard_example.toml files of the official Toml repository.
See main.go for some examples or the API doc for the full public API. Basically, you create a parser and give it a file or string to parse. You can then access the values using the Get accessors (eg. GetString(), GetInt(), etc.). You can also provide an optional default value to any of these accessors.
var parser toml.Parser
doc := parser.ParseFile("example.toml")
// Or parse a string directly:
// doc := parser.Parse(someTomlString)
// ==================================================
// Get some values:
// ==================================================
fmt.Println(doc.GetString("servers.beta.ip"))
fmt.Println(doc.GetArray("clients.data"))
fmt.Println(doc.GetInt("doesntexist", 123)) // Optionally, a default value can be provided
fmt.Println(doc.GetString("doesntexisteither", "some default"))
fmt.Println(doc.GetFloat("floats.pi"))
fmt.Println(doc.GetBool("database.enabled"))
fmt.Println(doc.GetDate("owner.dob"))// ==================================================
// The GetValue() / As<Type>() pattern provides a bit
// more flexibility but is more verbose
// ==================================================
var value toml.Value
var ok bool
// Get a string:
value, ok = doc.GetValue("servers.beta.ip")
if !ok { // Optionally, you can check if the value exists or not
panic("value doesn't exist")
} else {
fmt.Println(value)
}
// Get an array
value, _ = doc.GetValue("clients.data")
fmt.Println(value.AsArray()[0].AsArray()[0].AsString())
// Get an int
value, _ = doc.GetValue("database.connection_max")
fmt.Println(value.AsInt())
// Get a float
value, _ = doc.GetValue("floats.pi")
fmt.Println(value.AsFloat())
// Get a negative float
value, _ = doc.GetValue("floats.minus")
fmt.Println(value.AsFloat())
// Get a boolean
value, _ = doc.GetValue("database.enabled")
fmt.Println(value.AsBool())
// Get a date
value, _ = doc.GetValue("owner.dob")
fmt.Println(value.AsDate())
// Get a section
section, _ := doc.GetSection("owner")
fmt.Println(section)
// Get the title
value, _ = doc.GetValue("title")
fmt.Println(value.AsString())The MIT License (MIT)
