A parser for URNs.

As seen on RFC 2141.

API documentation.

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

Installation

go get github.com/leodido/go-urn

Features

1. RFC 2141 URNs parsing (default)
2. RFC 7643 SCIM URNs parsing
3. Fallback mode: first try to parse the input as a RFC 7643 SCIM URN, then fallback to RFC 2141 URN generic format.
4. Normalization as per RFC 2141
5. Lexical equivalence as per RFC 2141
6. Precise, fine-grained errors

Performances

This implementation results to be really fast.

Usually below ½ microsecond on my machine¹.

Notice it also performs, while parsing:

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