+Package gorilla/schema converts structs to and from form values.
+
+## Example
+
+Here's a quick example: we parse POST form values and then decode them into a struct:
+
+```go
+// Set a Decoder instance as a package global, because it caches
+// meta-data about structs, and an instance can be shared safely.
+var decoder = schema.NewDecoder()
+
+type Person struct {
+ Name string
+ Phone string
+}
+
+func MyHandler(w http.ResponseWriter, r *http.Request) {
+ err := r.ParseForm()
+ if err != nil {
+ // Handle error
+ }
+
+ var person Person
+
+ // r.PostForm is a map of our POST form values
+ err := decoder.Decode(&person, r.PostForm)
+ if err != nil {
+ // Handle error
+ }
+
+ // Do something with person.Name or person.Phone
+}
+```
+
+Conversely, contents of a struct can be encoded into form values. Here's a variant of the previous example using the Encoder:
+
+```go
+var encoder = schema.NewEncoder()
+
+func MyHttpRequest() {
+ person := Person{"Jane Doe", "555-5555"}
+ form := url.Values{}
+
+ err := encoder.Encode(person, form)
+
+ if err != nil {
+ // Handle error
+ }
+
+ // Use form values, for example, with an http client
+ client := new(http.Client)
+ res, err := client.PostForm("http://my-api.test", form)
+}
+
+```
+
+To define custom names for fields, use a struct tag "schema". To not populate certain fields, use a dash for the name and it will be ignored:
+
+```go
+type Person struct {
+ Name string `schema:"name"` // custom name
+ Phone string `schema:"phone"` // custom name
+ Admin bool `schema:"-"` // this field is never set
+}
+```
+
+The supported field types in the struct are:
+
+* bool
+* float variants (float32, float64)
+* int variants (int, int8, int16, int32, int64)
+* string
+* uint variants (uint, uint8, uint16, uint32, uint64)
+* struct
+* a pointer to one of the above types
+* a slice or a pointer to a slice of one of the above types
+
+Unsupported types are simply ignored, however custom types can be registered to be converted.
