What is a Go struct?

A Go struct is a composite data type in the Go programming language that groups together variables (called fields) under a single name. Structs are similar to classes in other languages but without inheritance. They're fundamental to organizing data in Go applications, especially when working with JSON APIs, databases, or configuration files. When you receive JSON data from an API, you need to define corresponding Go structs to unmarshal (parse) that data into usable Go objects.

Tool Description

JSON to Go Struct is a free online tool that automatically converts JSON data into properly formatted Go struct definitions. Simply paste your JSON, and the tool instantly generates the corresponding Go code with correct types, field names, and JSON tags. This eliminates the tedious manual work of writing struct definitions and ensures accuracy, especially for complex nested JSON structures.

Features

  • Instantly convert JSON to Go struct definitions
  • Automatic type detection for all JSON data types
  • Generate proper JSON field tags for marshaling/unmarshaling
