* Package name : golang-github-spf13-cast Version : 0.0~git20150803.0.ee815aa-1 Upstream Author : Steve Francia * URL : https://github.com/spf13/cast * License : TODO Programming Lang: Go Description : Safe and easy casting from one type to another in Go Cast is a library to convert between different Go types in a consistent and easy way. . Cast provides simple functions to easily convert a number to a string, an interface into a bool, etc. Cast does this intelligently when an obvious conversion is possible. It doesn’t make any attempts to guess what you meant; for example, you can only convert a string to an int when it is a string representation of an int such as “8”. . Cast was developed for use in Hugo (http://gohugo.io/), a website engine which uses YAML, TOML or JSON for meta data. Reason for packaging: Needed by Go applications such as Hugo the static website generator, http://gohugo.io/ To be maintained within the pkg-go-maintainers team.
