JSON to Go Struct Converter
Generate tagged Go structs from sample JSON when you want reusable transport models for clients, services, and encoding/json pipelines.
How to use
Paste a representative JSON payload that mirrors the API response or event body your Go code must decode.
Review the generated structs, exported field names, and `json` tags for nested objects, slices, and scalar types.
Copy the structs into your service or client package and refine naming, package placement, or custom unmarshal logic as needed.
Benefits
Produces Go structs with tags that are ready for encoding/json decode and encode workflows.
Cuts down on repetitive manual tag maintenance across nested payloads.
Helps backend teams move from map-based decoding to explicit transport models quickly.
Best use cases
Go API clients that need transport structs for third-party JSON responses.
Microservices that decode queue events, webhooks, or REST payloads with encoding/json.
Teams scaffolding DTO packages before mapping into domain-specific models.
Go struct tips
Keep the sample payload close to real traffic so slice element types and numeric fields are inferred accurately.
Review acronym capitalization and exported field names before checking generated structs into a shared package.
Use the generated structs as transport models and map them into richer domain types where business logic demands it.
Implementation tips
Review acronym capitalization for idiomatic Go names.
Confirm numeric types for large identifiers or decimals.
Place generated structs in dedicated model packages.
Sample JSON
{
"id": 101,
"name": "Ada Lovelace",
"active": true,
"roles": ["admin", "editor"],
"profile": {
"email": "ada@example.com",
"score": 9.8
}
}
Sample output
type UserModel struct {
Id int `json:"id"`
Name string `json:"name"`
Active bool `json:"active"`
Roles []string `json:"roles"`
}
FAQ
What makes the Go route different from the C# or Swift generators? The Go route is focused on exported struct fields with `json` tags for encoding/json workflows, which makes it a better fit for Go transport layers than class- or property-oriented outputs.
Does the Go route include JSON tags automatically? Yes. Generated Go structs include `json` tags so the field names stay aligned with the original payload keys.
