A parser for URNs.

As seen on RFC 2141, RFC 7643, and on RFC 8141.

API documentation.

Starting with version 1.3 this library also supports RFC 7643 SCIM URNs.

Starting with version 1.4 this library also supports RFC 8141 URNs (2017).

Installation

go get github.com/leodido/go-urn

Features

1. RFC 2141 URNs parsing (default)
2. RFC 8141 URNs parsing (supersedes RFC 2141)
3. RFC 7643 SCIM URNs parsing
4. Normalization as per RFCs
5. Lexical equivalence as per RFCs
6. Precise, fine-grained errors

Performances

This implementation results to be really fast.

Usually below 400 ns on my machine¹.

Notice it also performs, while parsing:

1. fine-grained and informative erroring
2. specific-string normalization
