JSON to Go Struct

Paste an API response and get a Go struct with json tags to unmarshal it

Runs in your browser. Nothing you type is sent anywhere. Checked against sources on 16 Oct 2026.

Unmarshalling an API response in Go needs a struct whose fields carry json tags, and typing one by hand for a large response is slow and easy to get wrong. Paste the response and get a single struct with the nested objects written inline, ready for json.Unmarshal. Whole numbers become int, decimals float64, and keys missing from some items get omitempty.

How JSON to Go Struct works

Go decodes JSON into structs, and every field needs the right type and a json:"..." tag naming the key. This converter writes those types from a sample, so a 200-line API response becomes correct Go in one paste.

JSON value Go type
"text" string
true / false bool
42 (whole numbers only) int, or int64 beyond 32 bits
4.5 (any decimal seen) float64
null, and also a type a pointer, such as *string
only null, or mixed kinds any
[ ... ] a slice, such as []string
{ ... } a named struct, or an inline one

Every output was checked by reading the Go back and decoding the sample with encoding/json's rules. Nothing you paste leaves the browser.

Frequently asked questions

How do I convert JSON to a Go struct?

Paste a JSON sample into the converter and the Go struct appears beside it, with a json tag on every field and nested objects as their own types. Copy it into your package and decode with json.Unmarshal(data, &v), where v is a variable of the root type.

What does omitempty do in a json tag?

With omitempty, json.Marshal leaves the field out when it holds the zero value: an empty string, 0, false, nil or an empty slice. The converter adds it to keys missing from some objects of an array, and a switch adds it to every field.

Why is the field called UserID and not UserId?

Go style, checked by golint and most linters, writes initialisms in capitals: ID, URL, HTTP, API, JSON and about forty more. The json tag keeps the original key, user_id or userId, so decoding still matches the API exactly.

Is my JSON uploaded?

No. The conversion runs in your browser with no request to any server, and the JSON is not stored, so API responses holding tokens or personal data stay on your device. Close the tab and nothing remains.
