Gogeta

Gogeta is a tool that generates valid Go types (structs) from JSON files.

Gogeta - I was just thinking of Go Generate Types -> GoGeTy -> Gogeta. That's how I named it.

Features

• Generates Go structs from JSON (JSON files)
• Supports nested JSON objects
• Supports arrays of JSON objects
• Accept input from stdin (WIP)

Usage

To use Gogeta, simply run the following command:

Use code with caution. Learn more

gogeta json [flags]

Flags

• -i, --input: The input JSON filename or stdin. If not provided, Gogeta will read the JSON from stdin.
• -o, --output: The file to write the generated types to. If not provided, Gogeta will print the generated types to stdout.
• -f, --output-to-file: Output the generated type to a file.

Examples

Generate a Go struct from a JSON file and write to temp/output.go or anywhere you want:

gogeta json -i input.json -o temp/output.go

Generate Go struct and write to a file (default file):

gogeta json -i input.json -f

Generate a Go struct from JSON to stdout:

Simply omit the -o flag

gogeta json -i input.json
