vifraa / gopom

A maven pom.xml parser written in Go.

gopom - a maven pom.xml parser

gopom is a Golang module to easily parse and work with maven pom.xml files.

Supports the offical pom.xml structure that can be read about here.

Installation

go get -u github.com/vifraa/gopom

Usage

To load and parse a pom.xml file it is possible to use the gopom.Parse(path string) function which will load the file at the given path and return the parsed pom.
See below for example:

package main

import (
	"github.com/vifraa/gopom"
	"log"
)

func main() {

	var pomPath string = ... // Path to the pom.xml file
	parsedPom, err := gopom.Parse(pomPath)
	if err != nil {
		log.Fatal(err)
	}
}

If one already has the pom.xml loaded as a string or bytes you can use encoding/xml from the standard library.
This can be seen below:

package main

import (
	"encoding/xml"
	"github.com/vifraa/gopom"
	"log"
)

func main() {
	var pomString string = ... // The pom string

	var parsedPom gopom.Project
	err := xml.Unmarshal([]byte(pomString), &parsedPom)
	if err != nil {
		log.Fatal(err)
	}
}
