You never write to newData
#Writing text to JSON file, but empty
pure orbit
So you're just writing out an empty map every time
You're encoding an empty map
It looks like you're missing a step where you unmarshal the body into the map.
Not sure why you changed to writefile, but the error explains what is wrong.
The encoder would work fine for writing to a file
encoding will write to the writer you give it, so there's no need for the writefile
Sure, now you're dealing with bytes and need to write those to the file
The encoder was taking care of that, but marshal just hands you back the bytes
I would still recommend the encoder, otherwise https://pkg.go.dev/os#File.Write
That's not what I linked

You are trying to write to a readonly file
os.Open opens a file in readonly
You likely meant file_create.Write
I know
Your code is trying to write to the test.txt file
Because you used file.Write instead of file_create.Write
As an aside, os.Create will truncate the file, so each loop is overwriting your things.json
No, os.WriteFile just returns an error.
You can do what you were trying to do, you just need to write to the right file
_, err = file.Write(jsonData)
That code is trying to write to a readonly file test.txt
pure orbit
You likely meant `file_create.Write`
.
Sure, the return signature of File.Write is (n int, err error)
