I'm bummed there still isn't a good solution for this. It seems like such an easy and extremely common thing. In a decade of webdev, I've possibly never seen a JSON API with Golang style UpperCamelCase keys.
Is there a solution to this that I'm missing? Here's one project I'm working on where dozens of types need to have JSON/YAML formats: https://godoc.org/github.com/buchanae/cwl Every single struct field needs a really obvious duplication of the field name in the tags, just in camel case. There are 3-4 variable name styles that would cover a majority of the data out there: camelCase, snake_case, etc. (Maybe I should do a code crawling exercise and get some numbers on how often tags are an obvious conversion of the field name...) My documentation and code would rejoice if encoding/json added a callback for formatting the key name. Can we just add a call to a callback here? https://golang.org/src/encoding/json/encode.go#L1110 On Monday, July 7, 2014 at 12:22:08 AM UTC-7, Dave Cheney wrote: > > > > On Saturday, 5 July 2014 18:36:06 UTC+10, i...@bodokaiser.io wrote: >> >> Hello, >> >> I would like to have all field names of a struct lower cased by default. >> At the moment I define the lowercased field name as json tag: >> >> type FooBar struct { >> Id string `json:"id"` >> } >> >> However with bson-, validation-, database- and xml-tags the space is >> getting very very tight. >> > > Why is space tight ?
