How to get JSON response in Golang

2019-01-07 03:04发布

问题:

I'm trying read JSON data from web, but that code returns empty result. I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong here.

package main

import "os"
import "fmt"
import "net/http"
import "io/ioutil"
import "encoding/json"

type Tracks struct {
    Toptracks []Toptracks_info
}

type Toptracks_info struct {
    Track []Track_info
    Attr  []Attr_info
}

type Track_info struct {
    Name       string
    Duration   string
    Listeners  string
    Mbid       string
    Url        string
    Streamable []Streamable_info
    Artist     []Artist_info
    Attr       []Track_attr_info
}

type Attr_info struct {
    Country    string
    Page       string
    PerPage    string
    TotalPages string
    Total      string
}

type Streamable_info struct {
    Text      string
    Fulltrack string
}

type Artist_info struct {
    Name string
    Mbid string
    Url  string
}

type Track_attr_info struct {
    Rank string
}

func get_content() {
    // json data
    url := "http://ws.audioscrobbler.com/2.0/?method=geo.gettoptracks&api_key=c1572082105bd40d247836b5c1819623&format=json&country=Netherlands"

    res, err := http.Get(url)

    if err != nil {
        panic(err.Error())
    }

    body, err := ioutil.ReadAll(res.Body)

    if err != nil {
        panic(err.Error())
    }

    var data Tracks
    json.Unmarshal(body, &data)
    fmt.Printf("Results: %v\n", data)
    os.Exit(0)
}

func main() {
    get_content()
}

回答1:

The ideal way is not to use ioutil.ReadAll, but rather use a decoder on the reader directly. Here's a nice function that gets a url and decodes its response onto a target structure.

var myClient = &http.Client{Timeout: 10 * time.Second}

func getJson(url string, target interface{}) error {
    r, err := myClient.Get(url)
    if err != nil {
        return err
    }
    defer r.Body.Close()

    return json.NewDecoder(r.Body).Decode(target)
}

Example use:

type Foo struct {
    Bar string
}

func main() {
    foo1 := new(Foo) // or &Foo{}
    getJson("http://example.com", foo1)
    println(foo1.Bar)

    // alternately:

    foo2 := Foo{}
    getJson("http://example.com", &foo2)
    println(foo2.Bar)
}

You should not be using the default *http.Client structure in production as this answer originally demonstrated! (Which is what http.Get/etc call to). The reason is that the default client has no timeout set; if the remote server is unresponsive, you're going to have a bad day.



回答2:

Your Problem were the slice declarations in your data structs (except for Track, they shouldn't be slices...). This was compounded by some rather goofy fieldnames in the fetched json file, which can be fixed via structtags, see godoc.

The code below parsed the json successfully. If you've further questions, let me know.

package main

import "fmt"
import "net/http"
import "io/ioutil"
import "encoding/json"

type Tracks struct {
    Toptracks Toptracks_info
}

type Toptracks_info struct {
    Track []Track_info
    Attr  Attr_info `json: "@attr"`
}

type Track_info struct {
    Name       string
    Duration   string
    Listeners  string
    Mbid       string
    Url        string
    Streamable Streamable_info
    Artist     Artist_info   
    Attr       Track_attr_info `json: "@attr"`
}

type Attr_info struct {
    Country    string
    Page       string
    PerPage    string
    TotalPages string
    Total      string
}

type Streamable_info struct {
    Text      string `json: "#text"`
    Fulltrack string
}

type Artist_info struct {
    Name string
    Mbid string
    Url  string
}

type Track_attr_info struct {
    Rank string
}

func perror(err error) {
    if err != nil {
        panic(err)
    }
}

func get_content() {
    url := "http://ws.audioscrobbler.com/2.0/?method=geo.gettoptracks&api_key=c1572082105bd40d247836b5c1819623&format=json&country=Netherlands"

    res, err := http.Get(url)
    perror(err)
    defer res.Body.Close()

    decoder := json.NewDecoder(res.Body)
    var data Tracks
    err = decoder.Decode(&data)
    if err != nil {
        fmt.Printf("%T\n%s\n%#v\n",err, err, err)
        switch v := err.(type){
            case *json.SyntaxError:
                fmt.Println(string(body[v.Offset-40:v.Offset]))
        }
    }
    for i, track := range data.Toptracks.Track{
        fmt.Printf("%d: %s %s\n", i, track.Artist.Name, track.Name)
    }
}

func main() {
    get_content()
}

You need upper case property names in your structs in order to be used by the json packages.

Upper case property names are exported properties. Lower case property names are not exported.

You also need to pass the your data object by reference (&data).

package main

import "os"
import "fmt"
import "net/http"
import "io/ioutil"
import "encoding/json"

type tracks struct {
    Toptracks []toptracks_info
}

type toptracks_info struct {
    Track []track_info
    Attr  []attr_info
}

type track_info struct {
    Name       string
    Duration   string
    Listeners  string
    Mbid       string
    Url        string
    Streamable []streamable_info
    Artist     []artist_info
    Attr       []track_attr_info
}

type attr_info struct {
    Country    string
    Page       string
    PerPage    string
    TotalPages string
    Total      string
}

type streamable_info struct {
    Text      string
    Fulltrack string
}

type artist_info struct {
    Name string
    Mbid string
    Url  string
}

type track_attr_info struct {
    Rank string
}

func get_content() {
    // json data
    url := "http://ws.audioscrobbler.com/2.0/?method=geo.gettoptracks&api_key=c1572082105bd40d247836b5c1819623&format=json&country=Netherlands"

    res, err := http.Get(url)

    if err != nil {
        panic(err.Error())
    }

    body, err := ioutil.ReadAll(res.Body)

    if err != nil {
        panic(err.Error())
    }

    var data tracks
    json.Unmarshal(body, &data)
    fmt.Printf("Results: %v\n", data)
    os.Exit(0)
}

func main() {
    get_content()
}

The results from json.Unmarshal (into var data interface{}) do not directly match your Go type and variable declarations. For example,

package main

import (
    "encoding/json"
    "fmt"
    "io/ioutil"
    "net/http"
    "os"
)

type Tracks struct {
    Toptracks []Toptracks_info
}

type Toptracks_info struct {
    Track []Track_info
    Attr  []Attr_info
}

type Track_info struct {
    Name       string
    Duration   string
    Listeners  string
    Mbid       string
    Url        string
    Streamable []Streamable_info
    Artist     []Artist_info
    Attr       []Track_attr_info
}

type Attr_info struct {
    Country    string
    Page       string
    PerPage    string
    TotalPages string
    Total      string
}

type Streamable_info struct {
    Text      string
    Fulltrack string
}

type Artist_info struct {
    Name string
    Mbid string
    Url  string
}

type Track_attr_info struct {
    Rank string
}

func get_content() {
    // json data
    url := "http://ws.audioscrobbler.com/2.0/?method=geo.gettoptracks&api_key=c1572082105bd40d247836b5c1819623&format=json&country=Netherlands"
    url += "&limit=1" // limit data for testing
    res, err := http.Get(url)
    if err != nil {
        panic(err.Error())
    }
    body, err := ioutil.ReadAll(res.Body)
    if err != nil {
        panic(err.Error())
    }
    var data interface{} // TopTracks
    err = json.Unmarshal(body, &data)
    if err != nil {
        panic(err.Error())
    }
    fmt.Printf("Results: %v\n", data)
    os.Exit(0)
}

func main() {
    get_content()
}

Output:
