A pure Go library for reading and writing dBase/xBase database files
This project is a part of go-shp library. go-shp is a pure Go implementation of Esri Shapefile format.
You can incorporate the library into your local workspace with the following 'go get' command:
go get github.com/LindsayBradford/go-dbf
Code needing to call into the library needs to include the following import statement:
import (
"github.com/LindsayBradford/go-dbf"
)
Here is a very simple snippet of example 'load' code to get you going:
dbfTable, err := godbf.NewFromFile("exampleFile.dbf", "UTF8")
exampleList := make(ExampleList, dbfTable.NumberOfRecords())
for i := 0; i < dbfTable.NumberOfRecords(); i++ {
exampleList[i] = new(ExampleListEntry)
exampleList[i].someColumnId, err = dbfTable.FieldValueByName(i, "SOME_COLUMN_ID")
}
Further examples can be found by browsing the library's test suite.
