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
    

Contribute

Feel free to report bugs and patches using GitHub's pull requests system on pelletier/go-toml. Any feedback would be much appreciated!

Run tests

You have to make sure two kind of tests run:

  1. The Go unit tests
  2. The TOML examples base

You can run both of them using ./test.sh.

Documentation

Overview

Package toml is a TOML parser and manipulation library.

This version supports the specification as described in https://github.com/toml-lang/toml/blob/master/versions/en/toml-v0.4.0.md

Marshaling

Go-toml can marshal and unmarshal TOML documents from and to data structures.

TOML document as a tree

Go-toml can operate on a TOML document as a tree. Use one of the Load* functions to parse TOML data and obtain a Tree instance, then one of its methods to manipulate the tree.

JSONPath-like queries

The package github.com/pelletier/go-toml/query implements a system similar to JSONPath to quickly retrive elements of a TOML document using a single expression. See the package documentation for more information.

Example (Tree)
package main

import (
	"fmt"

	toml "github.com/pelletier/go-toml"
)

func main() {
	config, err := toml.LoadFile("config.toml")

	if err != nil {
		fmt.Println("Error ", err.Error())
	} else {
		// retrieve data directly
		user := config.Get("postgres.user").(string)
		password := config.Get("postgres.password").(string)

		// or using an intermediate object
		configTree := config.Get("postgres").(*toml.Tree)
		user = configTree.Get("user").(string)
		password = configTree.Get("password").(string)
		fmt.Println("User is", user, " and password is", password)

		// show where elements are in the file
		fmt.Printf("User position: %v\n", configTree.GetPosition("user"))
		fmt.Printf("Password position: %v\n", configTree.GetPosition("password"))
	}
}
Output:

Example (Unmarshal)
package main

import (
	"fmt"

	toml "github.com/pelletier/go-toml"
)

func main() {
	type Employer struct {
		Name  string
		Phone string
	}
	type Person struct {
		Name     string
		Age      int64
		Employer Employer
	}

	document := []byte(`
	name = "John"
	age = 30
	[employer]
		name = "Company Inc."
		phone = "+1 234 567 89012"
	`)

	person := Person{}
	toml.Unmarshal(document, &person)
	fmt.Println(person.Name, "is", person.Age, "and works at", person.Employer.Name)
}
Output:

John is 30 and works at Company Inc.

Functions

func Marshal added in v1.0.0

func Marshal(v interface{}) ([]byte, error)

Marshal returns the TOML encoding of v. Behavior is similar to the Go json encoder, except that there is no concept of a Marshaler interface or MarshalTOML function for sub-structs, and currently only definite types can be marshaled (i.e. no `interface{}`).

Note that pointers are automatically assigned the "omitempty" option, as TOML explicity does not handle null values (saying instead the label should be dropped).

Tree structural types and corresponding marshal types:

*Tree                            (*)struct, (*)map[string]interface{}
[]*Tree                          (*)[](*)struct, (*)[](*)map[string]interface{}
[]interface{} (as interface{})   (*)[]primitive, (*)[]([]interface{})
interface{}                      (*)primitive

Tree primitive types and corresponding marshal types:

uint64     uint, uint8-uint64, pointers to same
int64      int, int8-uint64, pointers to same
float64    float32, float64, pointers to same
string     string, pointers to same
bool       bool, pointers to same
time.Time  time.Time{}, pointers to same
Example
package main

import (
	"fmt"
	"log"

	toml "github.com/pelletier/go-toml"
)

func main() {
	type Postgres struct {
		User     string `toml:"user"`
		Password string `toml:"password"`
	}
	type Config struct {
		Postgres Postgres `toml:"postgres"`
	}

	config := Config{Postgres{User: "pelletier", Password: "mypassword"}}
	b, err := toml.Marshal(config)
	if err != nil {
		log.Fatal(err)
	}
	fmt.Println(string(b))
}
Output:

[postgres]
  password = "mypassword"
  user = "pelletier"

func Unmarshal added in v1.0.0

func Unmarshal(data []byte, v interface{}) error

Unmarshal parses the TOML-encoded data and stores the result in the value pointed to by v. Behavior is similar to the Go json encoder, except that there is no concept of an Unmarshaler interface or UnmarshalTOML function for sub-structs, and currently only definite types can be unmarshaled to (i.e. no `interface{}`).

See Marshal() documentation for types mapping table.

Example
package main

import (
	"fmt"

	toml "github.com/pelletier/go-toml"
)

func main() {
	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)
}
Output:

user= pelletier

Types

type Marshaler added in v1.0.0

type Marshaler interface {
	MarshalTOML() ([]byte, error)
}

Marshaler is the interface implemented by types that can marshal themselves into valid TOML.

type Position

type Position struct {
	Line int // line within the document
	Col  int // column within the line
}

Position of a document element within a TOML document.

Line and Col are both 1-indexed positions for the element's line number and column number, respectively. Values of zero or less will cause Invalid(), to return true.

func (Position) Invalid

func (p Position) Invalid() bool

Invalid returns whether or not the position is valid (i.e. with negative or null values)

func (Position) String

func (p Position) String() string

String representation of the position. Displays 1-indexed line and column numbers.

type Tree added in v1.0.0

type Tree struct {
	// contains filtered or unexported fields
}

Tree is the result of the parsing of a TOML file.

func Load

func Load(content string) (tree *Tree, err error)

Load creates a Tree from a string.

func LoadBytes added in v1.0.1

func LoadBytes(b []byte) (tree *Tree, err error)

LoadBytes creates a Tree from a []byte.

func LoadFile

func LoadFile(path string) (tree *Tree, err error)

LoadFile creates a Tree from a file.

func LoadReader

func LoadReader(reader io.Reader) (tree *Tree, err error)

func TreeFromMap

func TreeFromMap(m map[string]interface{}) (*Tree, error)

TreeFromMap initializes a new Tree object using the given map.

func (*Tree) Get added in v1.0.0

func (t *Tree) Get(key string) interface{}

Get the value at key in the Tree. Key is a dot-separated path (e.g. a.b.c). Returns nil if the path does not exist in the tree. If keys is of length zero, the current tree is returned.

func (*Tree) GetDefault added in v1.0.0

func (t *Tree) GetDefault(key string, def interface{}) interface{}

GetDefault works like Get but with a default value

func (*Tree) GetPath added in v1.0.0

func (t *Tree) GetPath(keys []string) interface{}

GetPath returns the element in the tree indicated by 'keys'. If keys is of length zero, the current tree is returned.

func (*Tree) GetPosition added in v1.0.0

func (t *Tree) GetPosition(key string) Position

GetPosition returns the position of the given key.

func (*Tree) GetPositionPath added in v1.0.0

func (t *Tree) GetPositionPath(keys []string) Position

GetPositionPath returns the element in the tree indicated by 'keys'. If keys is of length zero, the current tree is returned.

func (*Tree) Has added in v1.0.0

func (t *Tree) Has(key string) bool

Has returns a boolean indicating if the given key exists.

func (*Tree) HasPath added in v1.0.0

func (t *Tree) HasPath(keys []string) bool

HasPath returns true if the given path of keys exists, false otherwise.

func (*Tree) Keys added in v1.0.0

func (t *Tree) Keys() []string

Keys returns the keys of the toplevel tree (does not recurse).

func (*Tree) Position added in v1.0.0

func (t *Tree) Position() Position

Position returns the position of the tree.

func (*Tree) Set added in v1.0.0

func (t *Tree) Set(key string, value interface{})

Set an element in the tree. Key is a dot-separated path (e.g. a.b.c). Creates all necessary intermediate trees, if needed.

func (*Tree) SetPath added in v1.0.0

func (t *Tree) SetPath(keys []string, value interface{})

SetPath sets an element in the tree. Keys is an array of path elements (e.g. {"a","b","c"}). Creates all necessary intermediate trees, if needed.

func (*Tree) String added in v1.0.0

func (t *Tree) String() string

String generates a human-readable representation of the current tree. Alias of ToString. Present to implement the fmt.Stringer interface.

func (*Tree) ToMap added in v1.0.0

func (t *Tree) ToMap() map[string]interface{}

ToMap recursively generates a representation of the tree using Go built-in structures. The following types are used:

  • bool
  • float64
  • int64
  • string
  • uint64
  • time.Time
  • map[string]interface{} (where interface{} is any of this list)
  • []interface{} (where interface{} is any of this list)

func (*Tree) ToTomlString added in v1.0.0

func (t *Tree) ToTomlString() (string, error)

ToTomlString generates a human-readable representation of the current tree. Output spans multiple lines, and is suitable for ingest by a TOML parser. If the conversion cannot be performed, ToString returns a non-nil error.

func (*Tree) Unmarshal added in v1.0.0

func (t *Tree) Unmarshal(v interface{}) error

Unmarshal attempts to unmarshal the Tree into a Go struct pointed by v. Neither Unmarshaler interfaces nor UnmarshalTOML functions are supported for sub-structs, and only definite types can be unmarshaled.

func (*Tree) WriteTo added in v1.0.0

func (t *Tree) WriteTo(w io.Writer) (int64, error)

WriteTo encode the Tree as Toml and writes it to the writer w. Returns the number of bytes written in case of success, or an error if anything happened.
