Valve Data Format

Package for working with Valve Data Format writen in Go. Lexer based on Rob Pike's talk.

I found some already existed parsers written in Go, but I did not like them and I decided to write my own.

Start using it

1. Download and install it:

go get github.com/blukai/vdf

2. Import it in your code:

import "github.com/blukai/vdf"

3. Parse VDF file:

dat, err := ioutil.ReadFile("./vdfFile.txt")
if err != nil {
	log.Fatal(err)
}
m := vdf.Parse(string(dat))

...and u can easily convert it's to json by adding:

jsonized, err := json.MarshalIndent(m, "", "  ")
if err != nil {
	log.Fatal(err)
}

err = ioutil.WriteFile("./jsonFile.json", jsonized, 0644)
if err != nil {
	log.Fatal(err)
}
