Convert Go rune to string

I am trying to convert s := '{"selector:"{"Status":"open"}"}' to type string, as I need to pass this as an argument to a query using GetQueryResult().

I have tried UnescapeString, it only accepts string as argument:

fmt.Println("args " ,html.UnescapeString(s)

but s is a Go rune.

Solution

  • The Go Programming Language Specification

    String literals

    Rune literals

    Use string raw literal back quotes, not rune literal single quotes.

    For example,

    package main

import (
    "fmt"
)

func main() {
    s := `{"selector:"{"Status":"open"}"}`
    fmt.Printf("type %T: %s", s, s)
}

    Playground: https://play.golang.org/p/lGARb35VHTv

    Output:

    type string: {"selector:"{"Status":"open"}"}
