Installation

go get github.com/macabot/solenodon

How to use

Solenodon must be used in combination with a serialization library that is able to deserialize data into a tree structure of maps and slices given a target of type interface{}.

Supported:

• encoding/json
• github.com/go-yaml/yaml
• github.com/BurntSushi/toml

Unsupported:

• encoding/xml - because there is no standard way to map XML to a key-value structure.

Example

The following shows an example of how to use the Has, Get, Delete and SetData method:

raw := []byte(`{"foo":"bar","items":[2,3,{"i":6,"j":7}]}`)
container, err := solenodon.NewContainerFromBytes(raw, json.Unmarshal)
if err != nil {
	panic(err)
}
fmt.Println(container.Has("foo")) // true
fmt.Println(container.Get("foo").Data().(string)) // bar
container.Get("items", 2, "j").SetData(44)
container.Delete("items", 0)
b, err := json.Marshal(container.Data())
if err != nil {
	panic(err)
}
fmt.Println(string(b)) // {"foo":"bar","items":[3,{"i":6,"j":44}]}
