Today, I will show you how do i Convert String to JSON in golang, as above mentioned I’m going to use the json.Unmarshal() method.

To use the json.Unmarshal() method, we have first import "encoding/json" package which is built in provided by golang, then we have to pass our string as a byte array with an assignable variable.

Let’s start our Golang convert string to JSON example

main.go

package main

import (
    "encoding/json"
    "fmt"
)

type Message struct {
    Name    string
    Version int64
}

func main() {

    s := `{"name":"Android", "version":13, "code":1}`
    var m Message

    // func Unmarshal(data []byte, v interface{}) error
    err := json.Unmarshal([]byte(s), &m)
    if err != nil {
        // panic
    }

    fmt.Println(s)
}

In the above example, we have converted a string to JSON and printed it in the console. let’s check the output.

Output

{"name":"Android", "version":13, "code":1}

I hope it helps you, All the best 👍.
