Description : Addressing and modifying values in Go structures using a string syntax

pointerstructure is a Go library for identifying a specific
value within any Go structure using a string syntax.
This library is based on JSON pointer (RFC 6901).
.
The goal of pointerstructure is to provide a single, well-known
format for addressing a specific value. This can be useful for
user provided input on structures, diffs of structures, etc.
.
Features:
* Get the value for an address.
* Set the value for an address within an existing structure.
* Delete the value at an address.
* Sorting a list of addresses.


This package is a new build-dependency of bettercap.

This package is a new build-dependency of bettercap.

Please note that this project is archived upstream, so it might be
better to ask the bettercap upstream to use something else, instead of
packaging a dead-on-arrival package?

(See https://gist.github.com/mitchellh/90029601268e59a29e64e55bab1c5bdc
for other archived packages from mitchellh. I don't see on that gist an
obvious successor for this one unfortunately.)

Thanks,
