Package strconv implements conversions to and from string representations of basic data types. Numeric Conversions The most common numeric conversions are Atoi (string to int) and Itoa (int to string). i, err := strconv.Atoi("-42") s := strconv.Itoa(-42) These assume decimal and the Go int type. ParseBool, ParseFloat, ParseInt, and ParseUint convert strings to values: b, err := strconv.ParseBool("true") f, err := strconv.ParseFloat("3.1415", 64) i, err := strconv.ParseInt("-42", 10, 64) u, err := strconv.ParseUint("42", 10, 64) The parse functions return the widest type (float64, int64, and uint64), but if the size argument specifies a narrower width the result can be converted to that narrower type without data loss: s := "2147483647" // biggest int32 i64, err := strconv.ParseInt(s, 10, 32) ... i := int32(i64) FormatBool, FormatFloat, FormatInt, and FormatUint convert values to strings: s := strconv.FormatBool(true) s := strconv.FormatFloat(3.1415, 'E', -1, 64) s := strconv.FormatInt(-42, 16) s := strconv.FormatUint(42, 16) AppendBool, AppendFloat, AppendInt, and AppendUint are similar but append the formatted value to a destination slice. String Conversions Quote and QuoteToASCII convert strings to quoted Go string literals. The latter guarantees that the result is an ASCII string, by escaping any non-ASCII Unicode with \u: q := strconv.Quote("Hello, 世界") q := strconv.QuoteToASCII("Hello, 世界") QuoteRune and QuoteRuneToASCII are similar but accept runes and return quoted Go rune literals. Unquote and UnquoteChar unquote Go string and rune literals.
