String parsing package for Go. Converts strings to best guess value type.

Supported types (in this order):

• nil or null
• bool
• int
• int64
• uint
• uint64
• float64

Quoted values are always strings with the quotes stripped.

For examples see the test code.

go get gopkg.in/matryer/str.v1

The simplest usage:

val := str.Parse("123")

To add additional ParseFunc functions:

parser := append(str.DefaultParser, toMyRangeType)
val := parser.Parse("[1,3]")

To use your own parsers entirely, use New:

parser := str.New(toMyRangeType)
val := parser.Parse("[1,3]")

To add parsers for time, import the parsers package and use the Time method:

parser := append(str.DefaultParser, parsers.Time(time.RFC822))
val := parser.Parse("02 Jan 06 15:04 MST")
