Configuring JSON for Go

Exploring the use of JSON with the Go programming language, this article provides a comprehensive guide on how to read, decode, and encode JSON data, emphasizing the versatility of JSON as a language-independent data format. The article explains the process of reading JSON files in Go using the `ioutil` package, parsing JSON data into Go structs utilizing the `Unmarshal` function, and conversely encoding Go structs back into JSON format with the `Marshal` function. It highlights the use of JSON tags in Go structs to control JSON key attributes, allowing for the omission of empty fields and customizing key names. The tutorial uses a sample user profile to demonstrate these concepts, illustrating how to manage user data with optional fields and integrating JSON functionality into more complex applications.
