UCUM

UCUM (Unified Code for Units of Measure) is a code system intended to cover all units of measures. It provides a formalism to express units in an unambiguous way suitable for electronic communication.

Features

• Comprehensive Support: Handles conversions for shopspring/decimal.Decimal, big.Rat, big.Int, float types. Also it's easyly extensible for a new types (contributions welcome).
• Full UCUM Coverage: Supports all types of UCUM units, ensuring that any unit described by the UCUM standard can be converted.
• Code Generation: Conversion tables are built using code generation for accuracy and efficiency.
• Internal Caching: Efficient caching mechanism for quick retrieval of previously converted units.

Installation

go get github.com/iimos/ucum
go get github.com/iimos/ucum/ucumdecimal

Basic Usage

import "github.com/iimos/ucum"

res, err := ucum.ConvFloat64(100, "km", "m")

rat := big.NewRat(100, 30)
res, err := ucum.ConvBigRat(rat, "km", "m")

bigInt := big.NewInt(100)
converted, exact, err := ucum.ConvBigInt(bigInt, "km", "m")

// ---------------------------

import "github.com/iimos/ucum/ucumdecimal"

d := decimal.NewFromFloat(100)
res, err := ucumdecimal.ConvDecimal(d, "km", "m", 10)
