Go Blast Request

This Go program sends parallel HTTP requests to a specified endpoint, with the ability to define the HTTP method, request headers, body, and query parameters. The configuration is read from a JSON file.

Prerequisites

Go installed on your machine (version 1.16 or higher recommended)

Configuration

Create a target.json file in the same directory as the main.go file with the following structure:

{
    "url": "https://jsonplaceholder.typicode.com/posts/1",
    "method": "GET",
    "headers": {
        "Content-Type": "application/json"
    },
    "body": {},
    "query_params": {
        "param1": "value1",
        "param2": "value2"
    },
    "count": 10
}

url: The endpoint to which the requests will be sent.
method: The HTTP method to use for the - requests (e.g., GET, POST, PUT, PATCH).
headers: An object containing any headers to include in the requests.
body: An object representing the body of the request (only used for methods like POST, PUT, PATCH).
query_params: An object containing query parameters to include in the URL.
count: The number of parallel requests to send.

Usage

Clone the repository or copy the code files to your local machine.
Ensure that the target.json file is in the same directory as main.go.
Open a terminal and navigate to the directory containing main.go.
Run the program using the following command:

go run main.go

The program will read the configuration from target.json and send the specified number of parallel HTTP requests to the endpoint. The responses will be printed to the console.

Example

Given the target.json configuration above, the program will send 10 parallel GET requests to https://jsonplaceholder.typicode.com/posts/1 with the specified headers and query parameters.
