Parsing multiple JSON objects in Go

Question

Objects like the below can be parsed quite easily using the encoding/json package.

[ 
    {\"something\":\"foo\"},
    {\"something-else\":\"bar\"}
         


        

Answer 1

Another option would be to parse each incoming line, line by line, and then add each one to a collection in code (ie a slice) Go provides a line scanner for this.

yourCollection := []yourObject{}
scanner := bufio.NewScanner(YOUR_SOURCE)
for scanner.Scan() {
    obj, err := PARSE_JSON_INTO_yourObject(scanner.Text())
    if err != nil {
       // something
    }
    yourCollection = append(yourCollection, obj)
}
if err := scanner.Err(); err != nil {
    fmt.Fprintln(os.Stderr, "reading standard input:", err)
}
