Golang : Saving(serializing) and reading file with GOB
Golang has a package ( GOB ) that allows developers to store memory values( such as int[], float64[] or any kind of structs ) into files for storage, store in a database, transmit over a network or processing the data with another program. Saving memory values to file is also known as serializing Golang objects. In this tutorial, we will learn how to serialize int[]
values to a file in a program and retrieve the int[]
values from another program.
savefilegob.go
package main
import (
"encoding/gob"
"fmt"
"os"
)
func main() {
data := []int{101, 102, 103}
// create a file
dataFile, err := os.Create("integerdata.gob")
if err != nil {
fmt.Println(err)
os.Exit(1)
}
// serialize the data
dataEncoder := gob.NewEncoder(dataFile)
dataEncoder.Encode(data)
dataFile.Close()
}
and retrieve the serialized objects or values:
readfilegob.go
package main
import (
"encoding/gob"
"fmt"
"os"
)
func main() {
var data []int
// open data file
dataFile, err := os.Open("integerdata.gob")
if err != nil {
fmt.Println(err)
os.Exit(1)
}
dataDecoder := gob.NewDecoder(dataFile)
err = dataDecoder.Decode(&data)
if err != nil {
fmt.Println(err)
os.Exit(1)
}
dataFile.Close()
fmt.Println(data)
}
Output :
[101 102 103]
