How can I get the string representation of a struct?

Question

For my application, it does not matter if the string is human readable or not.

Answer 1

you can also add a function with that struct receiver.

// URL : Sitemap Xml
type URL struct {
    Loc string `xml:"loc"`
}

// URLSET : Sitemap XML
type URLSET struct {
    URLS []URL `xml:"url"`
}

// converting the struct to String format. 
func (u URL) String() string {
    return fmt.Sprintf(u.Loc)
}

So printing this struct field will return a string.

fmt.Println(urls.URLS)
