asmap

Lightweight method for loading in various filetypes as map in Go.

Details

Under the hood, asmap.ReadAsMap() assumes headers are the first line and searches for a common separator based on the headers, unless you wish to read a .csv, then the function uses "encoding/csv" to handle the file. Common separators include ',', '\t', ';', '|', ' '. asmap.ReadAsMap() returns a map with the headers as keys and rows as values of string type-even if your data are int or float64. To convert a key's values to int or float64, you can use asmap.Str2Int() or asmap.Str2Float64(). This returns a map interface.
