About JSON to Go Struct Conversion

Go's static type system requires explicit struct definitions when working with JSON data. Manually writing these structs for complex API responses or configuration files is tedious and error-prone. This tool automates the process, generating clean, idiomatic Go structs from any JSON input.

The converter inspects every value in your JSON and determines the correct Go type. Nested objects become separate named structs. Arrays are analyzed to determine element types, including when elements have varying shapes. Null values are represented using Go pointers, which correctly model the difference between a zero value and an absent value during JSON unmarshaling.

Frequently Asked Questions

How does JSON to Go struct conversion work?
The converter parses your JSON data and generates corresponding Go struct definitions. Each JSON object becomes a Go struct with PascalCase field names and json struct tags. Nested objects create separate named struct types. Arrays are analyzed to determine element types, and null values are represented using Go pointers (e.g., *string). Primitive JSON types map to Go types: strings become string, numbers become float64 or int64, and booleans become bool.
Why does the converter use float64 for JSON numbers instead of int?
JSON does not distinguish between integers and floating-point numbers. However, this converter is smart about it: if a JSON number has no decimal point and fits within safe integer range, it uses int64. Numbers with decimal points use float64. This matches how Go's encoding/json package handles unmarshaling by default, though you can always adjust the types manually after conversion.
Is my JSON data safe when using this converter?
Yes, completely. This JSON to Go struct converter runs 100% in your browser using client-side JavaScript. Your JSON data never leaves your computer and nothing is sent to any server. You can verify this by checking the network tab in your browser's developer tools, or even use the tool offline once the page has loaded.
