I am trying to parse a nested json string
I did get it to work by using multiple structs, but I am wondering if I can parse the JSON without using an extra struct.
type Events struct {
Events []Event `json:"events"`
}
type Event struct {
Name string `json:"name"`
Url string `json:"url"`
Dates struct {
Start struct {
LocalDate string
LocalTime string
}
}
}
type Embed struct {
TM Events `json:"_embedded"`
}
func TMGetEventsByCategory(location string, category string) {
parameters := "city=" + location + "&classificationName=" + category + "&apikey=" + api_key
tmUrl := tmBaseUrl + parameters
resp, err := http.Get(tmUrl)
var embed Embed
var tm Event
if err != nil {
log.Printf("The HTTP request failed with error %s
", err)
} else {
data, _ := ioutil.ReadAll(resp.Body)
err := json.Unmarshal(data, &embed)
json.Unmarshal(data, &tm)
}
}
JSON Data looks like this:
{
"_embedded": {
"events": [],
},
"OtherStuff": {
}
}
Is it possible to get rid of the Embed struct and read straight to the events part of the json string?
