What is JSON serialization in Go?

JSON serialization in Go is the process of converting Go data structures into JSON format.

Why would I need to serialize data to JSON?

You might need to serialize data to JSON for APIs, data storage, or communication between services.

How do I perform JSON serialization in Go?

You can use the encoding/json package in Go, specifically the json.Marshal function.

Can you show me a code example?

Sure! Here's a simple example:

package main

import (
    "encoding/json"
    "fmt"
)

type Person struct {
    Name string `json:"name"`
    Age  int    `json:"age"`
}

func main() {
    p := Person{Name: "Alice", Age: 30}
    jsonData, _ := json.Marshal(p)
    fmt.Println(string(jsonData))
}
