How to see tag key of json with go struct?

I am learning https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-use-json-in-go#using-a-struct-to-generate-json (old version of Go).

I use go 1.20.1 , Windows 11 x64, GoLand 2022.3.2 .

package sample3

import (
    foo "encoding/json"
    "fmt"
    "time"
)

type myJSON struct {
    IntValue        int       `json:"intValue"`
    BoolValue       bool      `json:"boolValue"`
    StringValue     string    `json:"stringValue"`
    DateValue       time.Time `json:"dateValue"`
    ObjectValue     *myObject `json:"objectValue"`
    NullStringValue *string   `json:"nullStringValue"`
    NullIntValue    *int      `json:"nullIntValue"`
}

type myObject struct {
    ArrayValue []int `json:"arrayValue"`
}

func Main3() {
    otherInt := 4321
    data := &myJSON{
        IntValue:    1234,
        BoolValue:   true,
        StringValue: "hello!",
        DateValue:   time.Date(2022, 3, 2, 9, 10, 0, 0, time.UTC),
        ObjectValue: &myObject{
            ArrayValue: []int{1, 2, 3, 4},
        },
        NullStringValue: nil,
        NullIntValue:    &otherInt,
    }
    fmt.Println(foo.Marshal(data))
    fmt.Println(data)

    type myInt struct {
        IntValue int
    }

    data2 := &myInt{IntValue: 1234}
    fmt.Println(foo.Marshal(data2))

}

line

fmt.Println(foo.Marshal(data))

return

&{1234 true hello! 2022-03-02 09:10:00 +0000 UTC 0xc000008240 <nil> 0xc00001a170}

I want to see {"IntValue": 1234, "BoolValue": true, ...} , please guide me.

why I use fmt.Println(string(json.Marshal(data))) causes error?

Solution

  • I usually use json encoding library. Take a look at below example:

    package main

import (
    "encoding/json"
    "time"
)

type myJSON struct {
    IntValue        int       `json:"intValue"`
    BoolValue       bool      `json:"boolValue"`
    StringValue     string    `json:"stringValue"`
    DateValue       time.Time `json:"dateValue"`
    ObjectValue     *myObject `json:"objectValue"`
    NullStringValue *string   `json:"nullStringValue"`
    NullIntValue    *int      `json:"nullIntValue"`
}

type myObject struct {
    ArrayValue []int `json:"arrayValue"`
}

func main() {
    otherInt := 4321
    data := &myJSON{
        IntValue:    1234,
        BoolValue:   true,
        StringValue: "hello!",
        DateValue:   time.Date(2022, 3, 2, 9, 10, 0, 0, time.UTC),
        ObjectValue: &myObject{
            ArrayValue: []int{1, 2, 3, 4},
        },
        NullStringValue: nil,
        NullIntValue:    &otherInt,
    }
    bytes, err := json.Marshal(data)   // <-------------------This line
    println(string(bytes)) // <-------------------And this line
    println(err)
}

    Output:

    {"intValue":1234,"boolValue":true,"stringValue":"hello!","dateValue":"2022-03-02T09:10:00Z","objectValue":{"arrayValue":[1,2,3,4]},"nullStringValue":null,"nullIntValue":4321}
