go-ljson-conf

A powerful configuration package for go using Loose JSON as the format. (godoc)

Features

Data format

The data format is the Loose JSON, which is full compatible with JSON format but more easier for writing by hand. Visit Loose JSON project for more details.

Lines starting with // or ; (excluding the leading spaces) are considered as comments and thus ignored.

Dot-seperated hierarchical key

For configure:

{
	// http settings
	http: {
		addr: "www.example.com"
		ports: [80, 8080]
	}
}

You can fetch values by different ways:

code	value	type
String("http.addr")	"www.example.com"	string
IntList("http.ports")	[80, 8080]	[]int
Int("http.ports[1]")	8080	int
Object("http")	map[addr:www...]	map[string]interface{}

Include function

main.conf

{
	http: {
		#include#: "addr.conf"
	}
}

addr.conf

{
	addr: "www.example.com"
	ports: [80, 8080]
}

we got:

{
	http: {
		addr: "www.example.com"
		ports: [80, 8080]
	}
}
