Search Gear Notes Go, viper, toml, yaml, config files, gocheck, reflect! Just when you think you have a handle on things, it all starts to go wrong. I started off this morning thinking that I just needed to plug in some existing library machinery to better handle configuration files (there are many choices in the go third party developers list) but no! It seems that even though these packages are provided as “working” in reality there are a number of compile errors to be overcome and a lack of good documentation and examples to get a developer going.
