Indent in Go

Indent appends to dst an indented form of the JSON-encoded src. Each element in a JSON object or array begins on a new, indented line beginning with prefix followed by one or more copies of indent according to the indentation nesting. The data appended to dst does not begin with the prefix nor any indentation, to make it easier to embed inside other formatted JSON data. Although leading space characters (space, tab, carriage return, newline) at the beginning of src are dropped, trailing space characters at the end of src are preserved and copied to dst. For example, if src has no trailing spaces, neither will dst; if src ends in a trailing newline, so will dst.

package main

import (
	"bytes"
	"encoding/json"
	"log"
	"os"
)

func main() {
	type Road struct {
		Name   string
		Number int
	}
	roads := []Road{
		{"Diamond Fork", 29},
		{"Sheep Creek", 51},
	}

	b, err := json.Marshal(roads)
	if err != nil {
		log.Fatal(err)
	}

	var out bytes.Buffer
	json.Indent(&out, b, "=", "\t")
	out.WriteTo(os.Stdout)
}
