Generate Go type definitions based on sample JSON data
Given a sample JSON file, this tool will generate Go language type definitions for the types and structures needed to be able to represent the JSON in memory. The type defintions include JSON tags on each item to support controlling how the types are marshalled or unmarshalled.
The tool will attempt to generate specific type definitions where possible. If an array is not heterogeneous, for example, it will be defined as []interface{}, but if all the elements of the array are the same, then it is an array of the given type.
Nesting is detected, such that the generated type may reference additional generated types to represents objects defined within the JSON object.
By default, the program reads input from stdin that is the sample JSON file, and sends the generated Go program code to stdout. These can be overridden by command line options.
Usage:
json-go [options]
Options:
--camel, -c Force use of camel case in field names
--file, -f <filename> Read from the named file instead of stdin
--output, -o <filename> Write to the named file isntead of stdout
--type, -t <name> Name of the base type to be created
--help, -h Produce help output
