Given the following JSON object:
{
"a": 1,
"b": [1,2,3,4]
}
And the following type
:
type Thing struct {
A Int `json:"a"`
B string `json:"b"
}
I would like the Array "b" to stay as a JSON string when marshalled into go.
I currently get the following error:
panic: json: cannot unmarshal array into Go struct field Thing.b of type string
Set the field as a json.RawMessage
. It'll be stored as is, without interpretation (ie. as "[1,2,3,4]"
), as a slice of bytes, which can be converted to a string easily enough.
If you need a string directly, you'll have to implement the json.Unmarshaler interface on your type and do the conversion yourself.
