JSON/XML Body Marshalling

GREQ includes helper functions for marshalling JSON and/or XML body data. These functions use the Go standard library JSON marshaller

JSON Body Example

INFO

WithJSONBody accepts any value that can be passed to json.Marshal, and additionally pre-rendered json in the form of string or []byte

package main

import (
  "fmt"
  "github.com/clysec/greq"
)

func main() {
    data := map[string]string{
		"hello": "world",
	}

	response, err := greq.PostRequest("https://httpbin.org/post").
		WithHeader("Accept", "application/json").
		WithQueryParam("key", "value").
		WithJSONBody(data, nil).
		Execute()

	if err != nil {
		panic(err)
	}

	bodyString, err := response.BodyString()
	if err != nil {
		panic(err)
	}

	fmt.Println(bodyString)
}

Result

{
  "args": {
    "key": "value"
  }, 
  "json": {
    "hello": "world"
  },
  "data": "{\"hello\": \"world\"}",
  "headers": {
    "Accept-Encoding": "gzip", 
    "Host": "httpbin.org", 
    "User-Agent": "Clysec GREQ/1.0",
    "Accept": "application/json"
  }, 
  "origin": "1.2.3.4",
  "url": "https://httpbin.org/post?key=value"
}

XML Body Example

INFO

WithXMLBody accepts any value that can be passed to xml.Marshal, and additionally pre-rendered xml in the form of string or []byte

package main

import (
  "fmt"
  "github.com/clysec/greq"
)

type TestBody struct {
	Hello string `xml:"hello"`
}

func main() {
    response, err := greq.PostRequest("https://httpbin.org/put").
        WithHeader("Accept", "application/json").
        WithQueryParam("key", "value").
        WithXMLBody(TestBody{Hello: "world"}, nil).
    Execute()

    if err != nil {
        panic(err)
    }

    bodyString, err := response.BodyString()
    if err != nil {
        panic(err)
    }

    fmt.Println(bodyString)
}

Response

  "args": {
    "key": "value"
  },
