How to Convert Go to JSON - Step by Step Guide

Step 1

Input Your Go Code

Start by pasting your Go struct, struct literal, or composite literal that needs to be converted to JSON format. The tool supports Go struct literals, maps, slices, and nested structures.

•
Paste Go code: Copy your Go struct literal directly into the editor
•
Upload a file: Load Go code from a .go or .txt file on your computer
•
Try samples: Click sample buttons to see different Go patterns (structs, maps, slices, nested structures)

Example: Go Struct Literal

Here's a typical Go struct:

Person{
    Name: "Jordan Lee",
    Age: 35,
    IsActive: true,
    Tags: []string{"golang", "backend", "cloud"}
}
Step 2

Click Convert Button

Click the green "Convert" button to send your Go code to our Python backend API for processing. The converter uses tree-sitter AST parsing to transform Go syntax to JSON format, handling true/false, nil values, and proper formatting.

•
Boolean conversion: Go true/false becomes JSON true/false
•
Nil handling: Go nil converts to JSON null
•
Slice support: Go slices ([]string) convert to JSON arrays []
•
Field mapping: Go struct fields become JSON key-value pairs
•
Nested structures: Handle complex Go data hierarchies with nested structs

Example: Converted JSON Output

The same data in JSON format:

{
  "Name": "Jordan Lee",
  "Age": 35,
  "IsActive": true,
  "Tags": [
    "golang",
    "backend",
    "cloud"
  ]
}
Step 3

Get Valid JSON Output

The tool produces properly formatted, valid JSON that's ready to use in your applications, APIs, or configurations.

•
Real-time validation: Green checkmark confirms your JSON is syntactically correct
•
Proper formatting: Beautified with correct indentation and structure
•
Ready for APIs: Use directly in Go web services, REST APIs, or microservices
Step 4

Copy or Download JSON

Copy the JSON to your clipboard or download it as a .json file for use in your Go projects, microservices, or REST APIs.

•
Copy to clipboard for immediate use
•
Download .json file for integration into your codebase
•
Use in Go frameworks: Perfect for encoding/json, Gin, Echo, and Fiber frameworks
•
Export options: Convert to readable tables or minify for production

What is Go to JSON Conversion?

Go (Golang) to JSON conversion transforms Go data structures like structs, maps, and slices into standard JSON format. This process converts Go-specific syntax into JSON-compliant syntax for data interchange and API communication.

The conversion is essential for Go web services, microservices, and REST APIs where JSON is the standard format for data exchange. You can also convert other languages like Python to JSON or Java to JSON using our related tools.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I convert Go struct to JSON?

Simply paste your Go struct literal into the converter. It will automatically convert Go syntax (true, false, nil, struct fields) to valid JSON format. The output can then be formatted or minified based on your needs.

Does the converter handle nested Go structs?

Yes! The converter properly handles nested structs, slices, maps, and mixed data structures, converting them to equivalent JSON representations while maintaining the structure. You can also convert the reverse direction using our JSON to Go converter.

What Go types are supported?

The converter supports Go structs, maps, slices, strings, numbers, booleans (true/false), and nil. These are converted to their JSON equivalents: objects, arrays, strings, numbers, booleans, and null.

Is the output valid JSON?

Yes! The converter produces standard, valid JSON that can be used in any application or API. The output is properly formatted and validated. You can further validate the JSON or convert it to other formats like TypeScript or Python.

Is the Go to JSON converter free?

Yes, completely free with no limitations on data size or conversion frequency. No registration required. Check out our other free tools like JSON formatter, JSON validator, and JSON to Table converter.
