Golang : How to convert JSON string to map and slice
Couple of simple examples on how to convert JSON string to map and slice(array).
Simple and straightforward way of converting one line of JSON string.
package main
import (
"encoding/json"
"fmt"
)
func main() {
jsonStr := `{"Name":"Adam","Age":36,"Job":"CEO"}`
personMap := make(map[string]interface{})
err := json.Unmarshal([]byte(jsonStr), &personMap)
if err != nil {
panic(err)
}
for key, value := range personMap {
fmt.Println("index : ", key, " value : ", value)
}
}
Output:
index : Name value : Adam
index : Age value : 36
index : Job value : CEO
Convert multiple lines of JSON string to map and append each line into a slice(array).
package main
import (
"encoding/json"
"fmt"
"strconv"
)
func main() {
jsonStr := `[{
"Name": "Adam",
"Age": 36,
"Job": "CEO"
}, {
"Name": "Eve",
"Age": 34,
"Job": "CFO"
}, {
"Name": "Mike",
"Age": 38,
"Job": "COO"
}]`
type Person struct {
Name string
Age int
Job string
}
var people []Person
var personMap []map[string]interface{}
err := json.Unmarshal([]byte(jsonStr), &personMap)
if err != nil {
panic(err)
}
for _, personData := range personMap {
// convert map to array of Person struct
var p Person
p.Name = fmt.Sprintf("%s", personData["Name"])
p.Age, _ = strconv.Atoi(fmt.Sprintf("%v", personData["Age"]))
p.Job = fmt.Sprintf("%s", personData["Job"])
people = append(people, p)
}
fmt.Println(people)
}
Output:
[{Adam 36 CEO} {Eve 34 CFO} {Mike 38 COO}]
