Overview

Package encoding puts a JSON serializer behind an interface.

s := encoding.NewJSONSerializer()

data, err := s.Serialize(order)
if err != nil {
	return err
}

var decoded Order
err = s.Deserialize(data, &decoded)

The value of the indirection is substitutability: code that takes a JSONSerializer can be handed a fake in tests, or a different encoding later, without changing its signature.

The implementation is github.com/goccy/go-json, which is a drop-in replacement for encoding/json - same struct tags, same semantics.

No other package in this repository consumes it yet: pkg/cache marshals with goccy directly and pkg/stream uses the standard library.

Types

type JSONSerializer

type JSONSerializer interface {
	Serialize(v any) ([]byte, error)
	Deserialize(data []byte, v any) error
}

JSONSerializer converts Go values to JSON and back. Deserialize takes a pointer to the destination, as encoding/json does.

func NewJSONSerializer

func NewJSONSerializer() JSONSerializer

NewJSONSerializer returns a JSONSerializer backed by github.com/goccy/go-json, which honours the same struct tags as encoding/json.

Example
package main

import (
	"fmt"

	"github.com/diegodesousas/go-devkit/pkg/encoding"
)

type product struct {
	Name  string `json:"name"`
	Price int    `json:"price"`
}

func main() {
	s := encoding.NewJSONSerializer()

	data, err := s.Serialize(product{Name: "keyboard", Price: 300})
	if err != nil {
		panic(err)
	}
	fmt.Println(string(data))

	var decoded product
	if err := s.Deserialize(data, &decoded); err != nil {
		panic(err)
	}
	fmt.Println(decoded.Name, decoded.Price)

}
Output:
{"name":"keyboard","price":300}
keyboard 300
