This question already has an answer here:
I am trying to use json.Marshal but it refuses to accept my struct tags.
What am I doing wrong?
Here is the source code for "marshal.go"
https://play.golang.org/p/eFe03_89Ly9
package main
import (
"encoding/json"
"fmt"
)
type Person struct {
Name string `json: "name"`
Age int `json: "age"`
}
func main() {
p := Person{Name: "Alice", Age: 29}
bytes, _ := json.Marshal(p)
fmt.Println("JSON = ", string(bytes))
}
I get these error messages from "go vet marshal.go"
./marshal.go:9: struct field tag `json: "name"` not compatible with reflect.StructTag.Get: bad syntax for struct tag value
./marshal.go:10: struct field tag `json: "age"` not compatible with reflect.StructTag.Get: bad syntax for struct tag value
I get this output when I run the program.
% ./marshal
JSON = {"Name":"Alice","Age":29}
Notice the field names match the Go structure and ignore the json tags.
What am I missing?
