goconfig

##About goconfig is a easy-use comments-support configuration file parser for the Go Programming Language which provides a structure similar to what you would find on Microsoft Windows INI files.

The configuration file consists of sections, led by a "[section]" header and followed by "name:value" entries; "name=value" is also accepted. Note that leading whitespace is removed from values. The optional values can contain format strings which refer to other values in the same section, or values in a special DEFAULT section. Comments are indicated by ";" or "#"; comments may begin anywhere on a single line.

##Features

It simplified operation processes, easy to use and undersatnd; therefore, there are less chances to have errors.
It uses exactly the same way to access a configuration file as you use windows APIs, so you don't need to change your code style.
It supports configuration file with comments each section or key which all the other parsers don't support!!!!!!!
It Compiles!! It works with go version 1 and later.

##Example(Comments Support!!!!) ###Config.ini ; Google google=www.google.com search: http://%(google)s

; Here are Comments
; Second line
[Demo]
# This symbol can also make this line to be comments
key1=Let's us GoConfig!!!
key2=test data
key3=this is based on key2:%(key2)s

[What's this?]
; Not Enough Comments!!
name=try one more value ^-^

###Code Fragment

	// Open and read configuration file
	c, err := GoConfig.LoadConfigFile("Config.ini")
	
	// GetValue
	value, _ := c.GetValue("Demo", "key1") // return "Let's use GoConfig!!!"

	// GetComments
	comments := c.GetKeyComments("Demo", "key1") // return "# This symbol can also make this line to be comments"

	// SetValue
	c.SetValue("What's this?", "name", "Do it!") // Now name's value is "Do it!"
	search, _ := c.GetValue(DEFAULT_SECTION, "search")
	c.SetValue(DEFAULT_SECTION, "path", search)
	key3, _ := c.GetValue("Demo", "key3")
	c.SetValue("Demo", "key3", key3)
	
	// You can even edit comments in your code
	c.SetKeyComments("Demo", "key1", "")
	c.SetKeyComments("Demo", "key2", "comments by code without symbol")
	c.SetKeyComments("Demo", "key3", "# comments by code with symbol")

	// Don't need that key any more? Pass empty string "" to remove! that's all!'
	c.SetValue("What's this?", "name", "") // If your key was removed, its comments will be removed too!
	c.SetValue("What's this?", "name_test", "added by test")

	// Finally, you need save it
	SaveConfigFile(c, "Config_test.ini")

##Installation go get github.com/Unknwon/goconfig ##More Information

All characters are CASE SENSITIVE, BE CAREFULL!
If you use other operation systems instead of windows, you may want to change global variable [ LineBreak ] in conf.go, replace it with suitable characters, default value "\r\n" is for windows only. You can also use "\n" in all operation systems because I use "\n" as line break, it may look strange when you open with Notepad.exe in windows, but it works anyway.
