transform.Unmarshal	`transform.Unmarshal` (alias `unmarshal`) parses the input and converts it into a map or an array. Supported formats are JSON, TOML, YAML and CSV.	2018-12-23	functions	docs parent functions		RESOURCE or STRING | transform.Unmarshal [OPTIONS]	0.53

The function accepts either a Resource created in Hugo Pipes or via Page Bundles, or simply a string. The two examples below will produce the same map:

{{ $greetings := "hello = \"Hello Hugo\"" | transform.Unmarshal }}`

{{ $greetings := "hello = \"Hello Hugo\"" | resources.FromString "data/greetings.toml" | transform.Unmarshal }}

In both the above examples, you get a map you can work with:

{{ $greetings.hello }}

The above prints Hello Hugo.

CSV Options

Unmarshal with CSV as input has some options you can set:

delimiter

The delimiter used, default is ,.

comment

The comment character used in the CSV. If set, lines beginning with the comment character without preceding whitespace are ignored.:

Example:

{{ $csv := "a;b;c" | transform.Unmarshal (dict "delimiter" ";") }}
