#jsonconfig#
This package provides a convenient mechanism for using a json structure as a configuration file with the added benefit of allowing //comments.
##Installation and Usage##
To install simply call
go get github.com/callum-ramage/jsonconfig
Usage of the package couldn't be simpler
package main
import (
"github.com/callum-ramage/jsonconfig"
"fmt"
)
func main() {
config, err := jsonconfig.LoadAbstract("./configs/ExampleConfig.conf", "")
if err != nil {
return
}
fmt.Println(config["example_string"].Str)
fmt.Println(config["example_array"].Arr[0].Str)
fmt.Println(config["example_object"].Obj["example_number"].Num)
fmt.Println(config["example_object"].Obj["example_number"].Int)
//Or
fmt.Println(config["example_string"].Str)
fmt.Println(config["example_array.0"].Str)
fmt.Println(config["example_object.example_number"].Num)
fmt.Println(config["example_object.example_number"].Int)
}
Outputs
string value
array value 0
5.3
5
Where ./configs/ExampleConfig.conf is
{
"example_string": "string value",
"example_array": [
"array value 0"
],
"example_object": {
"example_number": 5.3
}
}
