mitchellh/mapstructure/mapstructure.go

// Package mapstructure exposes functionality to convert one arbitrary
// Go type into another, typically to convert a map[string]interface{}
// into a native Go structure.
//
// The Go structure can be arbitrarily complex, containing slices,
// other structs, etc. and the decoder will properly decode nested
// maps and so on into the proper structures in the native Go struct.
// See the examples to see what the decoder is capable of.
//
// The simplest function to start with is Decode.
//
// Field Tags
//
// When decoding to a struct, mapstructure will use the field name by
// default to perform the mapping. For example, if a struct has a field
// "Username" then mapstructure will look for a key in the source value
// of "username" (case insensitive).
//
//     type User struct {
//         Username string
//     }
//
// You can change the behavior of mapstructure by using struct tags.
// The default struct tag that mapstructure looks for is "mapstructure"
// but you can customize it using DecoderConfig.
//
// Renaming Fields
//
// To rename the key that mapstructure looks for, use the "mapstructure"
// tag and set a value directly. For example, to change the "username" example
// above to "user":
//
//     type User struct {
//         Username string `mapstructure:"user"`
//     }
//
// Embedded Structs and Squashing
//
// Embedded structs are treated as if they're another field with that name.
// By default, the two structs below are equivalent when decoding with
// mapstructure:
//
//     type Person struct {
//         Name string
//     }
//
//     type Friend struct {
//         Person
//     }
//
//     type Friend struct {
//         Person Person
//     }
//
// This would require an input that looks like below:
//
//     map[string]interface{}{
//         "person": map[string]interface{}{"name": "alice"},
//     }
//
// If your "person" value is NOT nested, then you can append ",squash" to
// your tag value and mapstructure will treat it as if the embedded struct
// were part of the struct directly. Example:
//
//     type Friend struct {
//         Person `mapstructure:",squash"`
//     }
//
// Now the following input would be accepted:
//
//     map[string]interface{}{
//         "name": "alice",
//     }
//
// DecoderConfig has a field that changes the behavior of mapstructure
// to always squash embedded structs.
//
// Remainder Values
//
// If there are any unmapped keys in the source value, mapstructure by
// default will silently ignore them. You can error by setting ErrorUnused
// in DecoderConfig. If you're using Metadata you can also maintain a slice
// of the unused keys.
//
// You can also use the ",remain" suffix on your tag to collect all unused
// values in a map. The field with this tag MUST be a map type and should
// probably be a "map[string]interface{}" or "map[interface{}]interface{}".
// See example below:
//
//     type Friend struct {
//         Name  string
//         Other map[string]interface{} `mapstructure:",remain"`
//     }
//
// Given the input below, Other would be populated with the other
// values that weren't used (everything but "name"):
//
//     map[string]interface{}{
//         "name":    "bob",
//         "address": "123 Maple St.",
//     }
//
// Omit Empty Values
//
// When decoding from a struct to any other value, you may use the
// ",omitempty" suffix on your tag to omit that value if it equates to
// the zero value. The zero value of all types is specified in the Go
// specification.
//
// For example, the zero type of a numeric type is zero ("0"). If the struct
// field value is zero and a numeric type, the field is empty, and it won't
// be encoded into the destination type.
//
//     type Source {
//         Age int `mapstructure:",omitempty"`
//     }
//
// Unexported fields
//
// Since unexported (private) struct fields cannot be set outside the package
// where they are defined, the decoder will simply skip them.
//
// For this output type definition:
//
//     type Exported struct {
//         private string // this unexported field will be skipped
//         Public string
//     }
//
// Using this map as input:
//
//     map[string]interface{}{
//         "private": "I will be ignored",
//         "Public":  "I made it through!",
//     }
//
// The following struct will be decoded:
//
//     type Exported struct {
//         private: "" // field is left with an empty string (zero value)
//         Public: "I made it through!"
//     }
//
// Other Configuration
//
// mapstructure is highly configurable. See the DecoderConfig struct
// for other features and options that are supported.
