In each of the handlers in an API I have, I first unmarshal the JSON request, and then validate the resulting struct. There are a few cases where I am able to pick up a correctable error in the validation code, but I'm not sure whether it's good practice to correct the error in the input data, or whether it's generally better to simply log the mistake (so that the client can be corrected), and return an error.
As a side note, I have a validator interface which is implemented on a pointer to each of the structs that I decode into, so it's technically quite easy to modify the struct. However, it will likely not be clear in the code that the validator is also modifying data. What is considered the best practice in this situation? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "golang-nuts" group.
