I'm looking for a good alternativ to Viper

1. urfave/cli

   1 28 23,345 9.5 Go

   A declarative, simple, fast, and fun package for building command line tools in Go (by urfave)

   

   Personally I used https://github.com/urfave/cli for CLI a lot but ended up migrating few project to cobra just because while way to use it was pretty aisine and annoying it ended up better at parsing said CLI (urfave/cli insist on positional arguments which don't work well for some cases)

2. InfluxDB

   www.influxdata.com featured

   InfluxDB – Built for High-Performance Time Series Workloads. InfluxDB 3 OSS is now GA. Transform, enrich, and act on time series data directly in the database. Automate critical tasks and eliminate the need to move data externally. Download now.

   

3. go-envconfig

   2 6 1,158 4.8 Go

   A Go library for parsing struct tags from environment variables.

   

4. godotenv

   3 21 9,531 3.7 Go

   A Go port of Ruby's dotenv library (Loads environment variables from .env files)

   

5. kong

   4 13 2,720 8.4 Go

   Kong is a command-line parser for Go (by alecthomas)

   

   For all my commandline parsing and config loading needs I use kong. In contrast to Viper and Cobra it has almost no dependencies (while viper and cobra pull in half a jungle).

6. ff

   5 7 1,404 3.3 Go

   Flags-first package for configuration

   

   Have a look at https://github.com/peterbourgon/ff

7. cleanenv

   6 2 1,865 4.2 Go

   ✨Clean and minimalistic environment configuration reader for Golang

   

   check this package: https://github.com/ilyakaznacheev/cleanenv

8. conf

   7 2 293 6.9 Go

   Package conf provides support for using environmental variables and command line arguments for configuration. (by ardanlabs)

   

9. Stream

   getstream.io featured

   Stream - Scalable APIs for Chat, Feeds, Moderation, & Video. Stream helps developers build engaging apps that scale to millions with performant and flexible Chat, Feeds, Moderation, and Video APIs and SDKs powered by a global edge network and enterprise-grade infrastructure.

   

10. kelseyhightower/envconfig

    8 15 5,264 2.3 Go

    Golang library for managing configuration data from environment variables

    

    Pretty much all of our services and pkgs use https://github.com/kelseyhightower/envconfig. It’s dead simple, gets out of your way, and is battle tested

11. copre

    9 2 12 0.0 Go

    A small library to load configuration from multiple sources with predefined precedence

    

    Shameless self-promotion: I encountered the same pain points and put together a small library to tie together multiple configuration sources. As I still really like cobra it is intended to be used with pflags.

12. xflags

    10 1 17 0.0 Go

    Expressive flags for Go (by cavaliergopher)

    

    Self promo: it won’t help with the config file side of things but should elegantly cover the flags and environment variables: https://github.com/cavaliergopher/xflags.

13. go-yamlcfg

    11 1 0 4.4 Go

    

    For config I ended up making wrapper for YAML parser that did the "pick a config from list list" and "generate default config" features. But my config needs are not that big
