semver for golang
semver is a Semantic Versioning library written in golang. It fully covers spec version 2.0.0
.
Usage
$ go get github.com/blang/semver
Note: Always vendor your dependencies or fix on a specific version tag.
import github.com/blang/semver
v1, err := semver.Make("1.0.0-beta")
v2, err := semver.Make("2.0.0-beta")
v1.Compare(v2)
Also check the GoDocs.
Why should I use this lib?
- Fully spec compatible
- No reflection
- No regex
- Fully tested (Coverage >99%)
- Readable parsing/validation errors
- Fast (See Benchmarks)
- Only Stdlib
- Uses values instead of pointers
- Many features, see below
Features
- Parsing and validation at all levels
- Comparator-like comparisons
- Compare Helper Methods
- InPlace manipulation
- Sortable (implements sort.Interface)
- database/sql compatible (sql.Scanner/Valuer)
- encoding/json compatible (json.Marshaler/Unmarshaler)
Example
Have a look at full examples in examples/main.go
import github.com/blang/semver
v, err := semver.Make("0.0.1-alpha.preview+123.github")
fmt.Printf("Major: %d\n", v.Major)
fmt.Printf("Minor: %d\n", v.Minor)
fmt.Printf("Patch: %d\n", v.Patch)
fmt.Printf("Pre: %s\n", v.Pre)
fmt.Printf("Build: %s\n", v.Build)
// Prerelease versions array
if len(v.Pre) > 0 {
fmt.Println("Prerelease versions:")
for i, pre := range v.Pre {
fmt.Printf("%d: %q\n", i, pre)
}
}
// Build meta data array
if len(v.Build) > 0 {
fmt.Println("Build meta data:")
for i, build := range v.Build {
fmt.Printf("%d: %q\n", i, build)
}
}
v001, err := semver.Make("0.0.1")
// Compare using helpers: v.GT(v2), v.LT, v.GTE, v.LTE
v001.GT(v) == true
v.LT(v001) == true
v.GTE(v) == true
v.LTE(v) == true
// Or use v.Compare(v2) for comparisons (-1, 0, 1):
v001.Compare(v) == 1
v.Compare(v001) == -1
v.Compare(v) == 0
// Manipulate Version in place:
v.Pre[0], err = semver.NewPRVersion("beta")
if err != nil {
fmt.Printf("Error parsing pre release version: %q", err)
}
fmt.Println("\nValidate versions:")
v.Build[0] = "?"
err = v.Validate()
if err != nil {
fmt.Printf("Validation failed: %s\n", err)
}

Motivation
I simply couldn't find any lib supporting the full spec. Others were just wrong or used reflection and regex which i don't like.
