Go offers built-in support for JSON encoding and decoding, including to and from built-in and custom data types.
package main
import (
"encoding/json"
"fmt"
"os"
)
type response1 struct {
Page int
Fruits []string
}
type response2 struct {
Page int `json:"page"`
Fruits []string `json:"fruits"`
}
func main() {
bolB, _ := json.Marshal(true)
fmt.Println(string(bolB))
intB, _ := json.Marshal(1)
fmt.Println(string(intB))
fltB, _ := json.Marshal(2.34)
fmt.Println(string(fltB))
strB, _ := json.Marshal("gopher")
fmt.Println(string(strB))
slcD := []string{"apple", "peach", "pear"}
slcB, _ := json.Marshal(slcD)
fmt.Println(string(slcB))
mapD := map[string]int{"apple": 5, "lettuce": 7}
mapB, _ := json.Marshal(mapD)
fmt.Println(string(mapB))
res1D := &response1{
Page: 1,
Fruits: []string{"apple", "peach", "pear"}}
res1B, _ := json.Marshal(res1D)
fmt.Println(string(res1B))
res2D := &response2{
Page: 1,
Fruits: []string{"apple", "peach", "pear"}}
res2B, _ := json.Marshal(res2D)
fmt.Println(string(res2B))
byt := []byte(`{"num":6.13,"strs":["a","b"]}`)
var dat map[string]interface{}
if err := json.Unmarshal(byt, &dat); err != nil {
panic(err)
}
fmt.Println(dat)
num := dat["num"].(float64)
fmt.Println(num)
strs := dat["strs"].([]interface{})
str1 := strs[0].(string)
fmt.Println(str1)
str := `{"page": 1, "fruits": ["apple", "peach"]}`
res := response2{}
json.Unmarshal([]byte(str), &res)
fmt.Println(res)
fmt.Println(res.Fruits[0])
enc := json.NewEncoder(os.Stdout)
d := map[string]int{"apple": 5, "lettuce": 7}
enc.Encode(d)

Go offers built-in support for XML and XML-like formats with the encoding.xml package.
package main
import (
"encoding/xml"
"fmt"
)
type Plant struct {
XMLName xml.Name `xml:"plant"`
Id int `xml:"id,attr"`
Name string `xml:"name"`
Origin []string `xml:"origin"`
}
func (p Plant) String() string {
return fmt.Sprintf("Plant id=%v, name=%v, origin=%v",
p.Id, p.Name, p.Origin)
}
func main() {
coffee := &Plant{Id: 27, Name: "Coffee"}
coffee.Origin = []string{"Ethiopia", "Brazil"}
out, _ := xml.MarshalIndent(coffee, " ", " ")
fmt.Println(string(out))
fmt.Println(xml.Header + string(out))
var p Plant
if err := xml.Unmarshal(out, &p); err != nil {
panic(err)
}
fmt.Println(p)
tomato := &Plant{Id: 81, Name: "Tomato"}
tomato.Origin = []string{"Mexico", "California"}
type Nesting struct {
XMLName xml.Name `xml:"nesting"`
Plants []*Plant `xml:"parent>child>plant"`
}
nesting := &Nesting{}
nesting.Plants = []*Plant{coffee, tomato}
out, _ = xml.MarshalIndent(nesting, " ", " ")
fmt.Println(string(out))
}
Go provides built-in support for base64 encoding/decoding.
package main
import (
b64 "encoding/base64"
"fmt"
)
func main() {
data := "abc123!?$*&()'-=@~"
sEnc := b64.StdEncoding.EncodeToString([]byte(data))
fmt.Println(sEnc)
sDec, _ := b64.StdEncoding.DecodeString(sEnc)
fmt.Println(string(sDec))
fmt.Println()
uEnc := b64.URLEncoding.EncodeToString([]byte(data))
fmt.Println(uEnc)
uDec, _ := b64.URLEncoding.DecodeString(uEnc)
fmt.Println(string(uDec))
}
