Generate Go Structs from API Response
This example generates Go structs with JSON tags from a typical REST API response. The pre-filled JSON represents a user object with nested address, array of roles, and array of post objects. Switch to Go mode to see the generated structs.
What You Get
The tool produces:
- A root
Rootstruct with all top-level fields RootAddressstruct for the nested address objectRootPostsItemstruct for array items- JSON struct tags preserving original key names
omitemptyon optional fields (likePostsitems missingLikes)- Go type mappings:
string,int,bool,[]string,interface{}
How to Use
- The example loads with a sample API response and Go mode pre-selected
- Inspect the generated Go structs and their JSON tags
- Copy the structs and paste them into your Go project
- Replace with your actual API response to generate structs for your endpoints
Real-World Pattern
Go structs with JSON tags are the standard way to deserialize API responses in Go. The generated code works directly with json.Unmarshal and json.NewDecoder. Use omitempty for fields that may not always be present in the response.
