How do I use structs in Go to work with JSON?

In Go, you can use structs to represent JSON objects. You define a struct with fields that match the JSON keys.

Can you show me an example of a struct for a JSON object?

MagicBuddy

Sure! For example, if you have a JSON object like { "name": "John", "age": 30 }, you can define a struct like this:

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

How do I convert JSON to a struct and vice versa?

You can use the encoding/json package. To convert JSON to a struct, use json.Unmarshal(), and to convert a struct to JSON, use json.Marshal().

What if the JSON keys don't match the struct field names?

MagicBuddy
MagicBuddy

You can use struct tags to specify the JSON key names. For example, json:"name" tells Go to map the JSON key "name" to the struct field Name.
