README

orderedmap

A golang data type equivalent to python's collections.OrderedDict

Retains order of keys in maps

Can be JSON serialized / deserialized

Usage

package main

import (
    "encoding/json"
    "github.com/iancoleman/orderedmap"
)

func main() {

    // use New() instead of o := map[string]interface{}{}
    o := orderedmap.New()

    // use SetEscapeHTML() to whether escape problematic HTML characters or not, defaults is true
    o.SetEscapeHTML(false)

    // use Set instead of o["a"] = 1
    o.Set("a", 1)

    // add some value with special characters
    o.Set("b", "\\.<>[]{}_-")

    // use Get instead of i, ok := o["a"]
    val, ok := o.Get("a")

    // use Keys instead of for k, v := range o
    keys := o.Keys()
    for _, k := range keys {
        v, _ := o.Get(k)
    }

    // use o.Delete instead of delete(o, key)
    o.Delete("a")

    // serialize to a json string using encoding/json
    bytes, err := json.Marshal(o)
    prettyBytes, err := json.MarshalIndent(o, "", "  ")

    // deserialize a json string using encoding/json
    // all maps (including nested maps) will be parsed as orderedmaps
    s := `{"a": 1}`
    err := json.Unmarshal([]byte(s), &o)

    // sort the keys
    o.SortKeys(sort.Strings)

    // sort by Pair
    o.Sort(func(a *orderedmap.Pair, b *orderedmap.Pair) bool {
        return a.Value().(float64) < b.Value().(float64)
    })
}

Caveats

• OrderedMap only takes strings for the key, as per the JSON spec.

Tests

go test

Alternatives

None of the alternatives offer JSON serialization.
