Wants to generate json output from mysql using gorm in Go - mysql

Question

So I am trying to get data from my database i.e MySQL. I am able to finish that step accessing the database but, the problem is I want to get the output in JSON format, but i did some research but didn't got the result so anyone can guide or hep me in this, getting the MySQL data in json by using GORM.
Here is the sample of my code which i written.
package main
import (
"fmt"
"github.com/jinzhu/gorm"
_ "github.com/jinzhu/gorm/dialects/mysql" //This must be introduced! !
)
type k_movie struct {
Id uint32
Title string `gorm:"default:''"`
Url_name string `gorm:"default:''"`
K_score string ``
Poster_url string ``
}
func main() {
db, errDb := gorm.Open("mysql", "root:xyz#123#(127.0.0.1)/dbdump?charset=utf8mb4&loc=Local")
if errDb != nil {
fmt.Println(errDb)
}
defer db.Close() //Close the database connection after use up
db.LogMode(true) //Open sql debug mode
//SELECT * FROM `k_movies` WHERE (id>0 and id<.....)
var movies []k_movie
db.Where("id>? and id<?", 0, 103697).Limit(3).Find(&movies)
fmt.Println(movies)
//Get the number
total := 0
db.Model(&k_movie{}).Count(&total)
fmt.Println(total)
var infos []k_movie //Define an array to receive multiple results
db.Where("Id in (?)", []uint32{1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8}).Find(&infos)
fmt.Println(infos)
fmt.Println(len(infos)) //Number of results
var notValue []k_movie
db.Where("id=?", 3).Find(&notValue)
if len(notValue) == 0 {
fmt.Println("No data found!")
} else {
fmt.Println(notValue)
}
}
And the output I'm getting in this format.

Answer 1

You need to define the json tag on your struct, so you can use the json.Marshal to grab a []byte slice that presents a json object.
Example taken from Go by example:
type Response2 struct {
Page int `json:"page"`
Fruits []string `json:"fruits"`
}
res2D := &Response2{
Page: 1,
Fruits: []string{"apple", "peach", "pear"}}
res2B, _ := json.Marshal(res2D)
fmt.Println(string(res2B))
That would print:
{"page":1,"fruits":["apple","peach","pear"]}
