did is a Go package that provides tools to work with Decentralized Identifiers (DIDs).

Install

go get github.com/ockam-network/did

Example

package main

import (
    "fmt"
    "log"

    "github.com/ockam-network/did"
)

func main() {
    d, err := did.Parse("did:example:q7ckgxeq1lxmra0r")
    if err != nil {
        log.Fatal(err)
    }
    fmt.Printf("%#v", d)
}

The above example parses the input string according to the rules defined in the [DID Grammar](did.abnf) and prints the following value of DID type.

&did.DID{
    Method:"example",
    ID:"q7ckgxeq1lxmra0r",
    IDStrings:[]string{"q7ckgxeq1lxmra0r"},
    Path:"",
    PathSegments:[]string(nil),
    Query:"",
    Fragment:""
}

The input string may also be a DID Reference with a DID Path:

d, err := did.Parse("did:example:q7ckgxeq1lxmra0r/abc/pqr")

which would result in:

&did.DID{
    Method:"example",
    ID:"q7ckgxeq1lxmra0r",
    IDStrings:[]string{"q7ckgxeq1lxmra0r"},
    Path:"abc/pqr",
    PathSegments:[]string{"abc", "pqr"},
    Query:"",
    Fragment:""
}

or a DID Reference with a DID Path and a DID Query:

d, err := did.Parse("did:example:q7ckgxeq1lxmra0r/abc/pqr?xyz")
fmt.Println(d.Query)
// Output: xyz

or a DID Reference with a DID Fragment:

d, err := did.Parse("did:example:q7ckgxeq1lxmra0r#keys-1")
fmt.Println(d.Fragment)
// Output: keys-1

This package also implements the Stringer interface for the DID type. It is easy to convert DID type structures into valid DID strings:

d := &did.DID{Method: "example", ID: "q7ckgxeq1lxmra0r"}
fmt.Println(d.String())
// Output: did:example:q7ckgxeq1lxmra0r

or with a refence with a fragment:

d := &did.DID{Method: "example", ID: "q7ckgxeq1lxmra0r", Fragment: "keys-1"}
fmt.Println(d.String())
// Output: did:example:q7ckgxeq1lxmra0r#keys-1

Build

To compile the code in this repository, run:

go build

Test

This repository includes a comprehensive [suite of tests](did_test.go) that check for various edge cases within the [DID Grammar](did.abnf).

To run the tests, run:

go test -v -cover

Benchmark

We haven't spent any time tuning the performance of the parser, however this repository includes some [benchmarks](benchmark_test.go) that compare the speed of did.Parse against Go's url.Parse with inputs of similar length, this is intended as a sanity check to ensure that did.Parse is at least comparable in performance to url.Parse

go test -bench=.

did.Parse included in this package:

BenchmarkParse-8                     5000000           365 ns/op
BenchmarkParseWithPath-8             3000000           500 ns/op
BenchmarkParseWithQuery-8            3000000           558 ns/op
BenchmarkParseWithFragment-8         3000000           552 ns/op

Go's url.Parse:

BenchmarkUrlParse-8                  3000000           475 ns/op
BenchmarkUrlParseWithPath-8          3000000           505 ns/op
BenchmarkUrlParseWithQuery-8         5000000           294 ns/op
BenchmarkUrlParseWithFragment-8      5000000           369 ns/op
