Go JSON Handling

Handle JSON encoding and decoding in Go with proper struct tags, custom marshalers, and performance tuning.

Usage

Describe your JSON handling needs and get idiomatic Go solutions.

Examples

  • "How do I handle optional JSON fields in Go?"

  • "Stream-parse a large JSON file without loading it all into memory"

Guidelines

  • Use struct tags for field mapping and omitempty
  • Show json.Decoder for streaming large payloads
  • Cover custom MarshalJSON and UnmarshalJSON implementations
  • Explain handling of unknown fields and strict parsing
  • Include performance comparison with sonic or jsoniter
