goconfig

IMPORTANT

This library is under bug fix only mode, which means no more features will be added.
I'm continuing working on better Go code with a different library: ini.

About

Package 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 or name=value entries. 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 read recursion sections.
It supports auto increment of key.
It supports READ and WRITE configuration file with comments each section or key which all the other parsers don't support!!!!!!!
It supports get value through type bool, float64, int, int64 and string, methods that start with "Must" means ignore errors and get zero-value if error occurs, or you can specify a default value.
It's able to load multiple files to overwrite key values.

Installation

go get github.com/unknwon/goconfig

Example

Please see conf.ini as an example.

Usage

Function LoadConfigFile load file(s) depends on your situation, and return a variable with type ConfigFile.
GetValue gives basic functionality of getting a value of given section and key.
Methods like Bool, Int, Int64 return corresponding type of values.
Methods start with Must return corresponding type of values and returns zero-value of given type if something goes wrong.
SetValue sets value to given section and key, and inserts somewhere if it does not exist.
DeleteKey deletes by given section and key.
Finally, SaveConfigFile saves your configuration to local file system.
Use method Reload in case someone else modified your file(s).
Methods contains Comment help you manipulate comments.
LoadFromReader allows loading data without an intermediate file.
SaveConfigData added, which writes configuration to an arbitrary writer.
ReloadData allows to reload data from memory.

Note that you cannot mix in-memory configuration with on-disk configuration.
