English | 简体中文

Compose.NET is a .NET port of compose-go. It parses and loads Docker Compose files into strongly-typed C# models, without requiring Docker Engine.

Why This Project

  • You need Compose file parsing in .NET tools, services, or CI automation.
  • You want behavior aligned with compose-go, but with idiomatic C# APIs.
  • You want a pure library dependency (no Docker runtime dependency).

Features

  • Compose parsing pipeline aligned with compose-go (interpolation, merge, include, extends, validation, normalization).
  • Strongly-typed domain models (Project, ServiceConfig, NetworkConfig, VolumeConfig, etc.).
  • Compose override/merge behavior and canonical transform support.
  • .env parser with variable expansion support.
  • Cross-file include/extends resolution.
  • Compatibility-oriented validation and consistency checks.
  • No Docker Engine dependency.

Target Frameworks

  • netstandard2.1
  • net8.0
  • net9.0
  • net10.0

Installation

dotnet add package Compose.NET

Quick Start

using Compose.NET.Loader;

var result = ComposeLoader.LoadFromFile("compose.yaml");
var project = result.Project;

foreach (var (name, service) in project.Services)
{
    Console.WriteLine($"{name}: {service.Image}");
}

Load from YAML Content

using Compose.NET.Loader;

var yaml = """
services:
  web:
    image: nginx:latest
    ports:
      - "8080:80"
""";

var result = ComposeLoader.LoadFromContent(yaml);
Console.WriteLine(result.Project.Services["web"].Image);

Parse .env

using Compose.NET.DotEnv;

var env = EnvFileParser.ParseWithLookup("FOO=bar\\nBAZ=${FOO}_suffix");
Console.WriteLine(env["BAZ"]); // bar_suffix

Notes on Compatibility

  • The project is focused on functional behavior parity with compose-go.
  • Error message text and code style intentionally follow .NET conventions.
