无法将地图对象转换为JSON对象

Question

I'm writing some code in Go lang. I'm new to Go language and I'm stuck at a place. I'm right now having a map object which looks like this

count := map[string]int{}
count["Kitchen"] = 1
count["Electronics"] = 1

the output looks like this: map[Electronics:1 Kitchen:1]

Now I'm doing

answer, _ := json.Marshal(count)

The expected answer should look something like this:

{"Kitchen": 1, "Electronics": 1}

But it is coming like this:

[123 34 69 108 101 99 116 114 111 110 105 99 115 34 58 49 44 34 75 105 116 99 104 101 110 34 58 49 125]

Answer 1

The output of json.Marshal is an array of bytes. If you need to use them as a string, you can just cast them with string(answer)

package main

import (
    "fmt"
    "encoding/json"
)

func main() {
    count := map[string]int{}
    count["Kitchen"] = 1
    count["Electronics"] = 1
    answer, _ := json.Marshal(count)
    fmt.Println(string(answer))
}
