How can I use JSON in Go for advanced data manipulation?

You can use the encoding/json package in Go to marshal and unmarshal JSON data. What specific manipulation are you looking to perform?

I want to merge two JSON objects and handle conflicts.

You can unmarshal both JSON objects into maps, merge them, and then marshal the result back to JSON. Would you like a code example?

Yes, please provide a code example for merging.

Here's a simple example:

package main

import (
	"encoding/json"
	"fmt"
)

func main() {
	json1 := `{"name": "John", "age": 30}`
	json2 := `{"age": 25, "city": "New York"}`

	var obj1, obj2 map[string]interface{}
	json.Unmarshal([]byte(json1), &obj1)
	json.Unmarshal([]byte(json2), &obj2)

	for k, v := range obj2 {
		obj1[k] = v // This will overwrite conflicts
	}

	result, _ := json.Marshal(obj1)
	fmt.Println(string(result))
}

This will merge the two JSON objects.

What if I want to keep both values in case of a conflict?

You can modify the merging logic to store both values in a slice. Would you like to see that example?
