I'm playing with Go and am stumped as to why json encode and decode don't work for me
I think i copied the examples almost verbatim, but the output says both marshal and unmarshal return no data. They also don't give an error.
can anyone hint to where i'm going wrong?
my sample code: Go playground
package main
import "fmt"
import "encoding/json"
type testStruct struct {
clip string `json:"clip"`
}
func main() {
//unmarshal test
var testJson = "{\"clip\":\"test\"}"
var t testStruct
var jsonData = []byte(testJson)
err := json.Unmarshal(jsonData, &t)
if err != nil {
fmt.Printf("There was an error decoding the json. err = %s", err)
return
}
fmt.Printf("contents of decoded json is: %#v\r\n", t)
//marshal test
t.clip = "test2"
data, err := json.Marshal(&t)
if err != nil {
fmt.Printf("There was an error encoding the json. err = %s", err)
return
}
fmt.Printf("encoded json = %s\r\n", string(data))
}
output:
contents of decoded json is: main.testStruct{clip:""}
encoded json = {}
in both outputs I would have expected to see the decoded or encoded json
