// Package cty (pronounced see-tie) provides some infrastructure for a type
|
|
// system that might be useful for applications that need to represent
|
|
// configuration values provided by the user whose types are not known
|
|
// at compile time, particularly if the calling application also allows
|
|
// such values to be used in expressions.
|
|
//
|
|
// The type system consists of primitive types Number, String and Bool, as
|
|
// well as List and Map collection types and Object types that can have
|
|
// arbitrarily-typed sets of attributes.
|
|
//
|
|
// A set of operations is defined on these types, which is accessible via
|
|
// the wrapper struct Value, which annotates the raw, internal representation
|
|
// of a value with its corresponding type.
|
|
//
|
|
// This package is oriented towards being a building block for configuration
|
|
// languages used to bootstrap an application. It is not optimized for use
|
|
// in tight loops where CPU time or memory pressure are a concern.
