parser

This package implements a parser specifically for the file formats present in the CSGO items_game.txt and csgo_<language>.txt files. These use the Valve Data Format (VDF) and this parser is effectively a VDF parser (however only tested on the two aforementioned files).

Usage

Currently, to use this parser, the data must be located within a file and the location of that file can be passed into the Parse function where it will be read and converted into a map of type map[string]interface{}.

Example:

result, err := parser.Parse("/path/to/file.txt")

The underlying data can be either a nested map[string]interface{} if the key holds a subsection of data, or otherwise a string which represents the data.

e.g.

"foo"
{
    "bar"
    {
        "foobar"    "one"
    }
}

Would be translated into:

result := map[string]interface{}{
    "foo": map[string]interface {
        "bar": map[string]interface {
            "foobar": "one",			
        }
    }
}
