go-toml
Go library for the TOML format.
This library supports TOML version
v0.4.0
Features
Go-toml provides the following features for using data parsed from TOML documents:
- Load TOML documents from files and string data
- Easily navigate TOML structure using Tree
- Mashaling and unmarshaling to and from data structures
- Line & column position data for all parsed elements
- Query support similar to JSON-Path
- Syntax errors contain line and column numbers
Import
import "github.com/pelletier/go-toml"
Usage example
Read a TOML document:
config, _ := toml.Load(`
[postgres]
user = "pelletier"
password = "mypassword"`)
// retrieve data directly
user := config.Get("postgres.user").(string)
// or using an intermediate object
postgresConfig := config.Get("postgres").(*toml.Tree)
password := postgresConfig.Get("password").(string)
Or use Unmarshal:
type Postgres struct {
User string
Password string
}
type Config struct {
Postgres Postgres
}
doc := []byte(`
[Postgres]
User = "pelletier"
Password = "mypassword"`)
config := Config{}
toml.Unmarshal(doc, &config)
fmt.Println("user=", config.Postgres.User)
Or use a query:
// use a query to gather elements without walking the tree
q, _ := query.Compile("$..[user,password]")
results := q.Execute(config)
for ii, item := range results.Values() {
fmt.Println("Query result %d: %v", ii, item)
}
Documentation
The documentation and additional examples are available at
godoc.org.
Tools
Go-toml provides two handy command line tools:
-
tomll: Reads TOML files and lint them.go install github.com/pelletier/go-toml/cmd/tomll tomll --help -
tomljson: Reads a TOML file and outputs its JSON representation.go install github.com/pelletier/go-toml/cmd/tomljson tomljson --help
Docker image
Those tools are also availble as a Docker image from
dockerhub. For example, to
use tomljson:
docker run -v $PWD:/workdir pelletier/go-toml tomljson /workdir/example.toml
Only master (latest) and tagged versions are published to dockerhub. You
can build your own image as usual:
docker build -t go-toml .

Fuzzing
The script ./fuzz.sh is available to
run go-fuzz on go-toml.
Versioning

(see Go Release Policy).
