## TOML parser and encoder for Go with reflection
|
|
|
|
TOML stands for Tom's Obvious, Minimal Language. This Go package provides a
|
|
reflection interface similar to Go's standard library `json` and `xml`
|
|
packages. This package also supports the `encoding.TextUnmarshaler` and
|
|
`encoding.TextMarshaler` interfaces so that you can define custom data
|
|
representations. (There is an example of this below.)
|
|
|
|
Spec: https://github.com/toml-lang/toml
|
|
|
|
Compatible with TOML version
|
|
[v0.4.0](https://github.com/toml-lang/toml/blob/master/versions/en/toml-v0.4.0.md)
|
|
|
|
Documentation: https://godoc.org/github.com/BurntSushi/toml
|
|
|
|
Installation:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
go get github.com/BurntSushi/toml
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Try the toml validator:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
go get github.com/BurntSushi/toml/cmd/tomlv
|
|
tomlv some-toml-file.toml
|
|
```
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
### Testing
|
|
|
|
This package passes all tests in
|
|
[toml-test](https://github.com/BurntSushi/toml-test) for both the decoder
|
|
and the encoder.
|
|
|
|
### Examples
|
|
|
|
This package works similarly to how the Go standard library handles `XML`
|
|
and `JSON`. Namely, data is loaded into Go values via reflection.
|
|
|
|
For the simplest example, consider some TOML file as just a list of keys
|
|
and values:
|
|
|
|
```toml
|
|
Age = 25
|
|
Cats = [ "Cauchy", "Plato" ]
|
|
Pi = 3.14
|
|
Perfection = [ 6, 28, 496, 8128 ]
|
|
DOB = 1987-07-05T05:45:00Z
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Which could be defined in Go as:
|
|
|
|
```go
|
|
type Config struct {
|
|
Age int
|
|
Cats []string
|
|
Pi float64
|
|
Perfection []int
|
|
DOB time.Time // requires `import time`
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
And then decoded with:
|
|
|
|
```go
|
|
var conf Config
|
|
if _, err := toml.Decode(tomlData, &conf); err != nil {
|
|
// handle error
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
You can also use struct tags if your struct field name doesn't map to a TOML
|
|
key value directly:
|
|
|
|
```toml
|
|
some_key_NAME = "wat"
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
```go
|
|
type TOML struct {
|
|
ObscureKey string `toml:"some_key_NAME"`
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Using the `encoding.TextUnmarshaler` interface
|
|
|
|
Here's an example that automatically parses duration strings into
|
|
`time.Duration` values:
|
|
|
|
```toml
|
|
[[song]]
|
|
name = "Thunder Road"
|
|
duration = "4m49s"
|
|
|
|
[[song]]
|
|
name = "Stairway to Heaven"
|
|
duration = "8m03s"
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Which can be decoded with:
|
|
|
|
```go
|
|
type song struct {
|
|
Name string
|
|
Duration duration
|
|
}
|
|
type songs struct {
|
|
Song []song
|
|
}
|
|
var favorites songs
|
|
if _, err := toml.Decode(blob, &favorites); err != nil {
|
|
log.Fatal(err)
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
for _, s := range favorites.Song {
|
|
fmt.Printf("%s (%s)\n", s.Name, s.Duration)
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
And you'll also need a `duration` type that satisfies the
|
|
`encoding.TextUnmarshaler` interface:
|
|
|
|
```go
|
|
type duration struct {
|
|
time.Duration
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
func (d *duration) UnmarshalText(text []byte) error {
|
|
var err error
|
|
d.Duration, err = time.ParseDuration(string(text))
|
|
return err
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### More complex usage
|
|
|
|
Here's an example of how to load the example from the official spec page:
|
|
|
|
```toml
|
|
# This is a TOML document. Boom.
|
|
|
|
title = "TOML Example"
|
|
|
|
[owner]
|
|
name = "Tom Preston-Werner"
|
|
organization = "GitHub"
|
|
bio = "GitHub Cofounder & CEO\nLikes tater tots and beer."
|
|
dob = 1979-05-27T07:32:00Z # First class dates? Why not?
|
|
|
|
[database]
|
|
server = "192.168.1.1"
|
|
ports = [ 8001, 8001, 8002 ]
|
|
connection_max = 5000
|
|
enabled = true
|
|
|
|
[servers]
|
|
|
|
# You can indent as you please. Tabs or spaces. TOML don't care.
|
|
[servers.alpha]
|
|
ip = "10.0.0.1"
|
|
dc = "eqdc10"
|
|
|
|
[servers.beta]
|
|
ip = "10.0.0.2"
|
|
dc = "eqdc10"
|
|
|
|
[clients]
|
|
data = [ ["gamma", "delta"], [1, 2] ] # just an update to make sure parsers support it
|
|
|
|
# Line breaks are OK when inside arrays
|
|
hosts = [
|
|
"alpha",
|
|
"omega"
|
|
]
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
And the corresponding Go types are:
|
|
|
|
```go
|
|
type tomlConfig struct {
|
|
Title string
|
|
Owner ownerInfo
|
|
DB database `toml:"database"`
|
|
Servers map[string]server
|
|
Clients clients
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
type ownerInfo struct {
|
|
Name string
|
|
Org string `toml:"organization"`
|
|
Bio string
|
|
DOB time.Time
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
type database struct {
|
|
Server string
|
|
Ports []int
|
|
ConnMax int `toml:"connection_max"`
|
|
Enabled bool
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
type server struct {
|
|
IP string
|
|
DC string
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
type clients struct {
|
|
Data [][]interface{}
|
|
Hosts []string
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Note that a case insensitive match will be tried if an exact match can't be
|
|
found.
|
|
|
|
A working example of the above can be found in `_examples/example.{go,toml}`.
