Being a language built for the web, Go offers feature-rich support for working with JSON data.

Go takes a unique approach for working with JSON data.

For example, if you encode an integer to JSON, you’re guaranteed it won’t have a decimal point.

Here are some things to watch out for: While most types have a default way to encode and decode JSON data, you may want custom behavior from time to time.

If you need to be able to parse data as it’s streamed in or out of your program the encoding/json package provides Decoder and Encoder types.
