Have you ever interact with an API that returns variable data formats depending on the circumstances? Yeah, it's a pain. In this post we explore one particular situation - when the response can either be an array or a single item - and look at how to handle unmarshaling the JSON in Go.
A common misconception is that a JSON API is vastly different from a web application that renders server-side HTML. In this article we explore how to convert an HTML-based web app into a JSON API in order to demonstrate how similar the two really are in a well designed app.
Learn to distinguish between when a JSON key is set to null or the key wasn't provided at all when dealing with JSON in Go.
