[][src]Crate configparser

A simple configuration parsing utility with no dependencies built on Rust. configparser works on a subset of ini configuration syntax. It is inspired by Python's configparser. This release is experimental, use at your own risk.

Syntax

You can get a HashMap of type HashMap<String, HashMap<String, String>> with the Ini struct, like: ```norun use configparser::ini::Ini;

fn main() { let mut config = Ini::new(); match config.load("Path/to/file...") { Err(why) => panic!("{}", why), Ok(_) => () }; // You can then access the map normally like: let map = match config.get_map() { None => HashMap::new(), // or whatever you want to if the HashMap is empty Some(map) => map }; for (key, value) in &map { println!("{:?}: {:?}", key, value); } // ...and do what you want with it. :) } ``` The Ini struct is the way to go forward and will soon have more features, such as reading from a string, insertion, deletion and variable access.

As of now, there's also a public function, to load an ini-syntax file and parse it into a hashmap. Support for this will be dropped in the near future, and will be changed into a macro when it's dropped. ```norun use configparser::ini;

fn main() { let map = ini::load("Path/to/file...");

// You can then access the map normally like: for (key, value) in &map { println!("{:?}: {:?}", key, value); } // ...and do what you want with it. :) } ```

Modules

ini

The ini module provides all the things necessary to load and parse ini-syntax files. The most important of which is the Ini struct.
