 # iab-tcf-v2
-Go client to read TCF v2 consent string
+Go client library to read and encode IAB TCF V2.0 TC Strings.
+####Installation
+
+```
+go get github.com/SirDataFR/iabtcfv2
+```
+
+The package defines a `TCData` structure with the four segments a TC String can contain:
+- `CoreString`
+- `DisclosedVendors`
+- `AllowedVendors`
+- `PublisherTC`
+
+#### Decode a TC String
+
+To decode a TC String, use the `Decode(tcString string)` function.
+
+NOTE : A valid TC String must start with a *Core String* segment value.
+```
+var tcData, err = iabtcfv2.Decode("COxR03kOxR1CqBcABCENAgCMAP_AAH_AAAqIF3EXySoGY2thI2YVFxBEIYwfJxyigMgChgQIsSwNQIeFLBoGLiAAHBGYJAQAGBAEEACBAQIkHGBMCQAAgAgBiRCMQEGMCzNIBIBAggEbY0FACCVmHkHSmZCY7064O__QLuIJEFQMAkSBAIACLECIQwAQDiAAAYAlAAABAhIaAAgIWBQEeAAAACAwAAgAAABBAAACAAQAAICIAAABAAAgAiAQAAAAGgIQAACBABACRIAAAEANCAAgiCEAQg4EAo4AAA.IF3EXySoGY2tho2YVFzBEIYwfJxyigMgShgQIsS0NQIeFLBoGPiAAHBGYJAQAGBAkkACBAQIsHGBMCQABgAgRiRCMQEGMDzNIBIBAggkbY0FACCVmnkHS3ZCY70-6u__QA.elAAAAAAAWA")
+if err != nil {
+  fmt.Printf("%v", err)
+}
+```
+
+To decode a segment value of a TC String, use the appropriate function:
+- `DecodeCoreString(coreString string)`
+- `DecodeDisclosedVendors(disclosedVendors string)`
+- `DecodeAllowedVendors(allowedVendors string)`
+- `DecodePublisherTC(publisherTC string)`
+```
+var coreString, err = iabtcfv2.DecodeCoreString("COxR03kOxR1CqBcABCENAgCMAP_AAH_AAAqIF3EXySoGY2thI2YVFxBEIYwfJxyigMgChgQIsSwNQIeFLBoGLiAAHBGYJAQAGBAEEACBAQIkHGBMCQAAgAgBiRCMQEGMCzNIBIBAggEbY0FACCVmHkHSmZCY7064O__QLuIJEFQMAkSBAIACLECIQwAQDiAAAYAlAAABAhIaAAgIWBQEeAAAACAwAAgAAABBAAACAAQAAICIAAABAAAgAiAQAAAAGgIQAACBABACRIAAAEANCAAgiCEAQg4EAo4AAA")
+if err != nil {
+  fmt.Printf("%v", err)
+}
+```
+
+Use `GetSegmentType(segment string)` to read the segment type from a segment value:
+- `0` = *Core String*
+- `1` = *Disclosed Vendors*
+- `2` = *Allowed Vendors*
+- `3` = *Publisher TC*
+
+Use `GetVersion(s string)` to verify the cookie version from a TC String or a *Core String* segment value. This function also supports TCF V1.1 consent strings:
+- `1` = TCF V1.1
+- `2` = TCF V2.0
+
+#####Example
+```
+package main
+
+import (
+  "fmt"
+  "github.com/SirDataFR/iabtcfv2"
+)
+
+func main() {
+  tcString := "COxSKBCOxSKCCBcABCENAgCMAPzAAEPAAAqIDaQBQAMgAgABqAR0A2gDaQAwAMgAgANoAAA"
+  
+  version, err := iabtcfv2.GetVersion(tcString)
+  if err != nil {
+    fmt.Printf("%v", err)
+  }
+  
+  segmentType, err := iabtcfv2.GetSegmentType(tcString)
+  if err != nil {
+    fmt.Printf("%v", err)
+  }
+  
+  var tcData, err = iabtcfv2.Decode(tcString)
+  if err != nil {
+    fmt.Printf("%v", err)
+  }
+  
+  fmt.Printf("%+v\n", version)
+  fmt.Printf("%+v\n", segmentType)
+  fmt.Printf("%+v\n", tcData.CoreString)
+  fmt.Printf("%+v\n", tcData.DisclosedVendors)
+  fmt.Printf("%+v\n", tcData.AllowedVendors)
+  fmt.Printf("%+v\n", tcData.PublisherTC)
+}
+```
+
+#### Encode a TC String
+
+To encode a TC String, use the `ToTCString()` function on the `TCData` structure.
+
+To encode a single segment of a TC String, use the `Encode()` function on the appropriate segment.
+
+#####Example
+```
+package main
+
+import (
+  "fmt"
+  "github.com/SirDataFR/iabtcfv2"
+)
+
+func main() {
+  tcData := &TCData{
+    CoreString: &CoreString{
+      Version: 2,
+      Created: time.Now(),
+      LastUpdated: time.Now(),
+      CmpId: 92,
+      CmpVersion: 1,
+      ConsentScreen: 1,
+      ConsentLanguage: "EN",
+      VendorListVersion: 32,
+      TcfPolicyVersion: 2,
+      PurposesConsent: map[int]bool{
+        1:  true,
+        2:  true,
+        3:  true,
+      },
+    },
+  }
+  
+  tcString := tcData.ToTCString()
+  fmt.Printf("%v", tcString)
+  
+  segmentValue := tcData.CoreString.Encode()
+  fmt.Printf("%v", segmentValue)
+}
+```
+
+#### Read TC Data
+
+To verify that a legal basis is established for a purpose or a vendor, use the functions on each structure.
