PHP serialize() and unserialize() for Go.

Install / Update

go get -u github.com/writeas/phpserialize

phpserialize requires Go 1.8+.

Example

package main

import (
	"fmt"
	"github.com/writeas/phpserialize"
)

func main() {
	out, err := phpserialize.Marshal(3.2, nil)
	if err != nil {
		panic(err)
	}

	fmt.Println(string(out))

	var in float64
	err = phpserialize.Unmarshal(out, &in)

	fmt.Println(in)
}

Using struct field tags for marshalling

package main

import (
	"fmt"
	"github.com/writeas/phpserialize"
)

type MyStruct struct {
	// Will be marhsalled as my_purpose
	MyPurpose string `php:"my_purpose"`
	// Will be marshalled as my_motto, and only if not a nil pointer
	MyMotto *string `php:"my_motto,omitnilptr"`
	// Will not be marshalled
	MySecret string `php:"-"`
}

func main() {
	my := MyStruct{
		MyPurpose: "No purpose",
		MySecret:  "Has a purpose",
	}

	out, err := phpserialize.Marshal(my, nil)
	if err != nil {
		panic(err)
	}

	fmt.Println(out)
}
