I would recommend [1] and [2]. Successfully using both in production. I like [1] because it's very simple and well engeneered at the same time. The upstream author was responsive and helpful as well when I chimed in his bugtracker. gcfg has an advantage of supporting some level of hierarchy by allowing you to have named groups of settings (which have the same "shape"). Obviously, more hard-core solution exist, such as a TOML parsing package (which, as I heard is a very good shape) and YAML parsers. Stock Go is also able to parse XML and JSON. Still, for my personal needs those two packages provided the minimal amount of functionality to feel not overwhelmed, so I like them. 1. https://github.com/Thomasdezeeuw/ini 2. https://gopkg.in/gcfg.v1 -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "golang-nuts" group.
