# Valve Data Format

Package for working with [Valve Data Format](https://developer.valvesoftware.com/wiki/KeyValues) writen in Go. Lexer based on Rob Pike's [talk](https://youtu.be/HxaD_trXwRE).

###### 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

go get github.com/blukai/vdf

```

2. Import it in your code:

```go

import "github.com/blukai/vdf"

```

3. Parse VDF file:

```go

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:

```go

jsonized, err := json.MarshalIndent(m, "", "  ")

if err != nil {

	log.Fatal(err)

}

err = ioutil.WriteFile("./jsonFile.json", jsonized, 0644)

if err != nil {

	log.Fatal(err)

}

```
