I get this on json.Marshal of a list of strings:
json: invalid UTF-8 in string: "...ole\xc5\"
The reason is obvious, but how can I delete/replace such strings in Go? I've been reading docst on unicode
and unicode/utf8
packages and there seems no obvious/quick way to do it.
In Python for example you have methods for it where the invalid characters can be deleted, replaced by a specified character or strict setting which raises exception on invalid chars. How can I do equivalent thing in Go?
UPDATE: I meant the reason for getting an exception (panic?) - illegal char in what json.Marshal expects to be valid UTF-8 string.
(how the illegal byte sequence got into that string is not important, the usual way - bugs, file corruption, other programs that do not conform to unicode, etc)
