Grabbing certain information from response body

[stone sundial]

There are some libraries to help with generic and unstructured json access https://awesome-go.com/json Check out FastJSON

@stone sundial could u help me figure it out cuz i got now clue how im gonnna get it working:P

[stone sundial]

I don’t have enough info, could you take a look at this blog post and ask a more complete question please? https://kesdev.com/how-to-ask-a-good-question/

[buoyant stream]

um

[stone sundial]

Notably I need some code, what you’re trying to do, what happens, and what you want to happen

[buoyant stream]

well

this is what the response looks like

{"status":"success","id":"myid","denormalized":{"myid":{"data":{"id":"name","my
name":"mario","gender":"m", "key":87374734}...
``` and blah blah

and i want to grab lets say

myname

or key

[stone sundial]

Nice, what code have you written to try to get that data out?

[buoyant stream]

so first i tried to turn it into a struct

and that failed

so idk a different way

[stone sundial]

Try the instructions in fastjson

[buoyant stream]

well i did

[stone sundial]

What code did you end up with?

[buoyant stream]

    if err != nil {
        fmt.Println("No response from request")
    }
    defer resp.Body.Close()
    body, _ := ioutil.ReadAll(resp.Body)
    return fastjson.GetString(body, "denormalized", "data")

It doesn't look like you followed the fastjson readme closely. You need to call Parse on the JSON raw data first

!go

var p fastjson.Parser
v, err := p.Parse(`{"status":"success","id":"myid","denormalized":{"myid":{"data":{"id":"name","my name":"mario","gender":"m", "key":87374734}}}}`)
if (err != nil) {
  log.Fatal(err)
}
fmt.Println(string(v.GetStringBytes("denormalized", "myid", "data", "my name")))

The go bot doesn't seem to work here, but this will print out mario

ill try it out!

How dynamic is this json actually?

[buoyant stream]
