Working with the resulting payload about gopencils HOT 4 CLOSED

You don't really navigate the JSON, the JSON object ist loaded into your response Structure

Example:

type UserExample struct {
    Id            string
    Name          string
    Origin        string
    Url           string
    SomeJsonField string
}

// Create Basic Auth
auth := gopencils.BasicAuth{"username", "password"}

// Create New Api with our auth
api := gopencils.Api("http://your-api-url.com/api/", &auth)

// Create a pointer to our response struct
resp := &UserExample{}

// Perform a GET request
// URL Requested: http://your-api-url.com/api/users/1
// The JSON data is loaded into resp variable
api.Res("users", resp).Id(1).Get()

// Now your Response Struct (resp) contains the parsed JSON, you can now access the properties.

Ah - thanks... so if it's a more complex payload, with a header that has some meta information, then a body that might have an array of structures, one would need to create a struct that maps all of those values?

Basically yes, you can use the json-to-go struct service e.g. http://mholt.github.io/json-to-go/ to generate the struct, then use that struct to store the response.
