im kinda new to programming but i found that python didnt have the speed i needed so i switched to go, im building a scraper and i need to convert a what looks like to be a ASCII formated string to json but i cant find any good documentation on how to do this in go.
the string i need converted looks something like this: debug%22%3Afalse%2C%22pageOpts%22%3A%7B%22noBidIfUnsold%22%3Atrue%2C%22keywords%22%3A%7B%22no-sno-finn-object_type%22%3A%22private%22%2C%22no-sno-finn-car_make%22%3A%22796%22%2C%22aa-sch-publisher%22%3A%22finn%22%2C%22aa-sch-inventory_type%22%3A%22classified%22%2C%22aa-sch-country_code%22%3A%22no%22%2C%22no-sno-finn-section%22%3A%22car%22%2C%22no-sno-finn-ad_owner%22%3A%22false%22%2C%22no-sno-publishergroup%22%3A%22schibsted%22%2C%22aa-sch-supply_type%22%3A%22web_desktop%22%2C%22no-sno-finn-subsection%22%3A%22car_used%22%2C%22aa-sch-page_type%22%3A%22object%22%7D
Thanks in advance!
As mentioned by a commenter, your string is URL encoded and can be decoded using url.QueryUnescape(...):
package main
import (
"fmt"
"net/url"
)
func main() {
querystr := "debug%22%3Afalse%2C%22pageOpts%22%3A%7B%22noBidIfUnsold%22%3Atrue%2C%22keywords%22%3A%7B%22no-sno-finn-object_type%22%3A%22private%22%2C%22no-sno-finn-car_make%22%3A%22796%22%2C%22aa-sch-publisher%22%3A%22finn%22%2C%22aa-sch-inventory_type%22%3A%22classified%22%2C%22aa-sch-country_code%22%3A%22no%22%2C%22no-sno-finn-section%22%3A%22car%22%2C%22no-sno-finn-ad_owner%22%3A%22false%22%2C%22no-sno-publishergroup%22%3A%22schibsted%22%2C%22aa-sch-supply_type%22%3A%22web_desktop%22%2C%22no-sno-finn-subsection%22%3A%22car_used%22%2C%22aa-sch-page_type%22%3A%22object%22%7D"
// Parse the URL encoded string.
plainstr, err := url.QueryUnescape(querystr)
if err != nil {
panic(err)
}
fmt.Println(plainstr)
// debug":false,"pageOpts":{"noBidIfUnsold":true,"keywords":{"no-sno-finn-object_type":"private","no-sno-finn-car_make":"796","aa-sch-publisher":"finn","aa-sch-inventory_type":"classified","aa-sch-country_code":"no","no-sno-finn-section":"car","no-sno-finn-ad_owner":"false","no-sno-publishergroup":"schibsted","aa-sch-supply_type":"web_desktop","no-sno-finn-subsection":"car_used","aa-sch-page_type":"object"}
}
Your example string appears to be incomplete but eventually it can be decoded into a struct or map using json.Unmarshal(...).
