Golang : Process json data with Jason package
While writing out the tutorial on how to read json data and save to csv, I was thinking ... somehow there must be a third party package out there that will make life easier.
Today, I found the package at https://github.com/antonholmquist/jason. The code below demonstrate how to use Jason package to create an object named Person
easily for further manipulation.
package main
import (
"bufio"
"fmt"
"github.com/antonholmquist/jason"
"os"
)
func main() {
// read data from file
jsonDataFromFile, err := os.Open("./data.json")
if err != nil {
fmt.Println(err)
os.Exit(1)
}
defer jsonDataFromFile.Close()
reader := bufio.NewReader(jsonDataFromFile)
scanner := bufio.NewScanner(reader)
for scanner.Scan() {
person, _ := jason.NewObjectFromBytes([]byte(scanner.Text()))
name, _ := person.GetString("Name") //case sensitive
age, _ := person.GetNumber("Age")
job, _ := person.GetString("Job")
fmt.Printf(" %s, %v job is %s\n", name, age, job)
}
}
Output :
Adam, 36 job is CEO
Eve, 34 job is CFO
Mike, 38 job is COO
Input from data.json file
{"Name":"Adam","Age":36,"Job":"CEO"},
{"Name":"Eve","Age":34,"Job":"CFO"},
{"Name":"Mike","Age":38,"Job":"COO"}
