goconfig is a easy-use, comments-support configuration file parser for the Go Programming Language, which provides a structure similar to what you would find on Microsoft Windows INI files.
The configuration file consists of sections, led by a [section] header and followed by name:value or name=value entries. Note that leading whitespace is removed from values. The optional values can contain format strings which refer to other values in the same section, or values in a special DEFAULT section. Comments are indicated by ";" or "#"; comments may begin anywhere on a single line.
- It simplified operation processes, easy to use and undersatnd; therefore, there are less chances to have errors.
- It uses exactly the same way to access a configuration file as you use Windows APIs, so you don't need to change your code style.
- It supports read recursion sections.
- It supports auto increment of key.
- It supports READ and WRITE configuration file with comments each section or key which all the other parsers don't support!!!!!!!
- It supports get value through type bool, float64, int, int64 and string, methods that start with "Must" means ignore errors and get zero-value if error occurs, or you can specify a default value.
- It's able to load multiple files to overwrite key values.

- Function
LoadConfigFileload file(s) depends on your situation, and return a variable with typeConfigFile. GetValuegives basic functionality of getting a value of given section and key.- Methods like
Bool,Int,Int64return corresponding type of values. - Methods start with
Mustreturn corresponding type of values and returns zero-value of given type if something goes wrong. SetValuesets value to given section and key, and inserts somewhere if it does not exist.DeleteKeydeletes by given section and key.- Finally,
SaveConfigFilesaves your configuration to local file system. - Use method
Reloadin case someone else modified your file(s). - Methods contains
Commenthelp you manipulate comments.
- All characters are CASE SENSITIVE, BE CAREFULL!
