Example

Here is an example:

import "sourcecode.social/reiver/go-brace"
import "sourcecode.social/reiver/go-utf-8"

// ...

const value string = `{This is a brace-string literal. It begins with a \{ symbol and end with a \} symbol. Now look at this: {wow} }`

var reader io.Reader = strings.NewReader(value)
var runereader io.RuneReader = utf8.NewRuneReader(reader)

bracestring, err := brace.ParseToString(runereader)
if nil != err {
		return err
}

fmt.Print(bracestring)

// This will print:
//
//	This is a brace-string literal. It begins with a { symbol and end with a } symbol. Now look at this: {wow} 
//
// I.e., the string:
//
//	"This is a brace-string literal. It begins with a { symbol and end with a } symbol. Now look at this: {wow} "
//
// Notice that the beginning '{' is not there, that the ending '}' is not there, and the 2 '\' are not there either.
