Default values when unmarshal json in go
goIf we want to unmarshal a json into a struct, and we want to have default values if a value is absent in the json, the following code can be used: type LogEndpoint struct { MaxLogLevel int `json:"max_log_level"` } func (o *LogEndpoint) UnmarshalJSON(text []byte) error { type defaults LogEndpoint opts := defaults{ MaxLogLevel: 5, } if err := json.Unmarshal(text, &opts); err != nil { return err } *o = LogEndpoint(opts) return nil } The code provides a method called UnmarshalJSON that belongs to a struct called LogEndpoint.
