I am trying to create a JSON array in Go with a struct using json.Marshall
however I cant seem to get the desired result here is the slice of structs I am working with.
posts := []models.Post{
models.Post{Id: 1,MediaUrl:"...", Title: "...", Slug: "...", ShortDescription : "...", Content : "..."},
models.Post{Id: 2,MediaUrl:"...", Title: "...", Slug: "...", ShortDescription : "...", Content : "..."},
}
And I am trying to marshall it into a struct that looks like
{"posts":[{"Id": 1,...},{"Id": 2,...}]}
But I am stuck at
[{"Id":1,...},{"Id": 2,...}]
I dont know how to get the additional {"posts":..}
around the json array. How do I add this additional identifier to the json array? Thanks
Wrap the slice with a struct to add the JSON object with "posts" field:
data := struct {
Posts []models.Post `json:"posts"`
}{
Posts: posts
}
p, err := json.Marshal(&data)
An alternative is to wrap the slice with a map:
p, err := json.Marshal(map[string]interface{}{"posts": posts})
