Build Status Go Report Card GoDoc No Maintenance Intended

A serializer/deserializer for JSON payloads that comply to the JSON API - jsonapi.org spec in go.

Installation

go get -u github.com/google/jsonapi

Or, see Alternative Installation.

Background

You are working in your Go web application and you have a struct that is organized similarly to your database schema. You need to send and receive json payloads that adhere to the JSON API spec. Once you realize that your json needed to take on this special form, you go down the path of creating more structs to be able to serialize and deserialize JSON API payloads. Then there are more models required with this additional structure. Ugh! With JSON API, you can keep your model structs as is and use StructTags to indicate to JSON API how you want your response built or your request deserialized. What about your relationships? JSON API supports relationships out of the box and will even put them in your response into an included side-loaded slice--that contains associated records.

Introduction

JSON API uses StructField tags to annotate the structs fields that you already have and use in your app and then reads and writes JSON API output based on the instructions you give the library in your JSON API tags. Let's take an example. In your app, you most likely have structs that look similar to these:

type Blog struct {
	ID            int       `json:"id"`
	Title         string    `json:"title"`
	Posts         []*Post   `json:"posts"`
	CurrentPost   *Post     `json:"current_post"`
	CurrentPostId int       `json:"current_post_id"`
	CreatedAt     time.Time `json:"created_at"`
	ViewCount     int       `json:"view_count"`
}

type Post struct {
	ID       int        `json:"id"`
	BlogID   int        `json:"blog_id"`
	Title    string     `json:"title"`
	Body     string     `json:"body"`
	Comments []*Comment `json:"comments"`
}

type Comment struct {
	Id     int    `json:"id"`
	PostID int    `json:"post_id"`
	Body   string `json:"body"`
	Likes  uint   `json:"likes_count,omitempty"`
}

These structs may or may not resemble the layout of your database. But these are the ones that you want to use right? You wouldn't want to use structs like those that JSON API sends because it is difficult to get at all of your data easily.

Example App

examples/app.go

This program demonstrates the implementation of a create, a show, and a list http.Handler. It outputs some example requests and responses as well as serialized examples of the source/target structs to json. That is to say, I show you that the library has successfully taken your JSON API request and turned it into your struct types.

To run,

  • Make sure you have Go installed
  • Create the following directories or similar: ~/go
  • Set GOPATH to PWD in your shell session, export GOPATH=$PWD
  • go get github.com/google/jsonapi. (Append -u after get if you are updating.)
  • cd $GOPATH/src/github.com/google/jsonapi/examples
  • go build && ./examples

jsonapi Tag Reference

Example

The jsonapi StructTags tells this library how to marshal and unmarshal your structs into JSON API payloads and your JSON API payloads to structs, respectively. Then Use JSON API's Marshal and Unmarshal methods to construct and read your responses and replies. Here's an example of the structs above using JSON API tags:

type Blog struct {
	ID            int       `jsonapi:"primary,blogs"`
	Title         string    `jsonapi:"attr,title"`
	Posts         []*Post   `jsonapi:"relation,posts"`
	CurrentPost   *Post     `jsonapi:"relation,current_post"`
	CurrentPostID int       `jsonapi:"attr,current_post_id"`
	CreatedAt     time.Time `jsonapi:"attr,created_at"`
	ViewCount     int       `jsonapi:"attr,view_count"`
}

type Post struct {
	ID       int        `jsonapi:"primary,posts"`
	BlogID   int        `jsonapi:"attr,blog_id"`
	Title    string     `jsonapi:"attr,title"`
	Body     string     `jsonapi:"attr,body"`
	Comments []*Comment `jsonapi:"relation,comments"`
}

type Comment struct {
	ID     int    `jsonapi:"primary,comments"`
	PostID int    `jsonapi:"attr,post_id"`
	Body   string `jsonapi:"attr,body"`
	Likes  uint   `jsonapi:"attr,likes-count,omitempty"`
}
Permitted Tag Values
primary
`jsonapi:"primary,<type field output>"`

This indicates this is the primary key field for this struct type. Tag value arguments are comma separated. The first argument must be, primary, and the second must be the name that should appear in the type* field for all data objects that represent this type of model.

* According the JSON API spec, the plural record types are shown in the examples, but not required.

attr
`jsonapi:"attr,<key name in attributes hash>,<optional: omitempty>"`

These fields' values will end up in the attributeshash for a record. The first argument must be, attr, and the second should be the name for the key to display in the attributes hash for that record. The optional third argument is omitempty - if it is present the field will not be present in the "attributes" if the field's value is equivalent to the field types empty value (ie if the count field is of type int, omitempty will omit the field when count has a value of 0). Lastly, the spec indicates that attributes key names should be dasherized for multiple word field names.

relation
`jsonapi:"relation,<key name in relationships hash>,<optional: omitempty>"`

Relations are struct fields that represent a one-to-one or one-to-many relationship with other structs. JSON API will traverse the graph of relationships and marshal or unmarshal records. The first argument must be, relation, and the second should be the name of the relationship, used as the key in the relationships hash for the record. The optional third argument is omitempty - if present will prevent non existent to-one and to-many from being serialized.

Methods Reference

All Marshal and Unmarshal methods expect pointers to struct instance or slices of the same contained with the interface{}s

Now you have your structs prepared to be serialized or materialized, What about the rest?

Create Record Example

You can Unmarshal a JSON API payload using jsonapi.UnmarshalPayload. It reads from an io.Reader containing a JSON API payload for one record (but can have related records). Then, it materializes a struct that you created and passed in (using new or &). Again, the method supports single records only, at the top level, in request payloads at the moment. Bulk creates and updates are not supported yet.

After saving your record, you can use, MarshalOnePayload, to write the JSON API response to an io.Writer.

UnmarshalPayload
UnmarshalPayload(in io.Reader, model interface{})

Visit godoc

MarshalPayload
MarshalPayload(w io.Writer, models interface{}) error

Visit godoc

Writes a JSON API response, with related records sideloaded, into an included array. This method encodes a response for either a single record or many records.

Handler Example Code
func CreateBlog(w http.ResponseWriter, r *http.Request) {
	blog := new(Blog)

	if err := jsonapi.UnmarshalPayload(r.Body, blog); err != nil {
		http.Error(w, err.Error(), http.StatusInternalServerError)
		return
	}

	// ...save your blog...

	w.Header().Set("Content-Type", jsonapi.MediaType)
	w.WriteHeader(http.StatusCreated)

	if err := jsonapi.MarshalPayload(w, blog); err != nil {
		http.Error(w, err.Error(), http.StatusInternalServerError)
	}
}
Create Records Example
UnmarshalManyPayload
UnmarshalManyPayload(in io.Reader, t reflect.Type) ([]interface{}, error)

Visit godoc

Takes an io.Reader and a reflect.Type representing the uniform type contained within the "data" JSON API member.

Handler Example Code
func CreateBlogs(w http.ResponseWriter, r *http.Request) {
	// ...create many blogs at once

	blogs, err := UnmarshalManyPayload(r.Body, reflect.TypeOf(new(Blog)))
	if err != nil {
		t.Fatal(err)
	}

	for _, blog := range blogs {
		b, ok := blog.(*Blog)
		// ...save each of your blogs
	}

	w.Header().Set("Content-Type", jsonapi.MediaType)
	w.WriteHeader(http.StatusCreated)

	if err := jsonapi.MarshalPayload(w, blogs); err != nil {
		http.Error(w, err.Error(), http.StatusInternalServerError)
	}
}

If you need to include link objects along with response data, implement the Linkable interface for document-links, and RelationshipLinkable for relationship links:

func (post Post) JSONAPILinks() *Links {
	return &Links{
		"self": "href": fmt.Sprintf("https://example.com/posts/%d", post.ID),
		"comments": Link{
			Href: fmt.Sprintf("https://example.com/api/blogs/%d/comments", post.ID),
			Meta: map[string]interface{}{
				"counts": map[string]uint{
					"likes":    4,
				},
			},
		},
	}
}

// Invoked for each relationship defined on the Post struct when marshaled
func (post Post) JSONAPIRelationshipLinks(relation string) *Links {
	if relation == "comments" {
		return &Links{
			"related": fmt.Sprintf("https://example.com/posts/%d/comments", post.ID),
		}
	}
	return nil
}
Meta

If you need to include meta objects along with response data, implement the Metable interface for document-meta, and RelationshipMetable for relationship meta:

func (post Post) JSONAPIMeta() *Meta {
   return &Meta{
   	"details": "sample details here",
   }
}

// Invoked for each relationship defined on the Post struct when marshaled
func (post Post) JSONAPIRelationshipMeta(relation string) *Meta {
   if relation == "comments" {
   	return &Meta{
   		"this": map[string]interface{}{
   			"can": map[string]interface{}{
   				"go": []interface{}{
   					"as",
   					"deep",
   					map[string]interface{}{
   						"as": "required",
   					},
   				},
   			},
   		},
   	}
   }
   return nil
}
Custom types

Custom types are supported for primitive types, only, as attributes. Examples,

type CustomIntType int
type CustomFloatType float64
type CustomStringType string

Types like following are not supported, but may be in the future:

type CustomMapType map[string]interface{}
type CustomSliceMapType []map[string]interface{}
Errors

This package also implements support for JSON API compatible errors payloads using the following types.

MarshalErrors
MarshalErrors(w io.Writer, errs []*ErrorObject) error

Writes a JSON API response using the given []error.

ErrorsPayload
type ErrorsPayload struct {
	Errors []*ErrorObject `json:"errors"`
}

ErrorsPayload is a serializer struct for representing a valid JSON API errors payload.

ErrorObject
type ErrorObject struct { ... }

// Error implements the `Error` interface.
func (e *ErrorObject) Error() string {
	return fmt.Sprintf("Error: %s %s\n", e.Title, e.Detail)
}

ErrorObject is an Error implementation as well as an implementation of the JSON API error object.

The main idea behind this struct is that you can use it directly in your code as an error type and pass it directly to MarshalErrors to get a valid JSON API errors payload.

Errors Example Code
// An error has come up in your code, so set an appropriate status, and serialize the error.
if err := validate(&myStructToValidate); err != nil {
	context.SetStatusCode(http.StatusBadRequest) // Or however you need to set a status.
	jsonapi.MarshalErrors(w, []*ErrorObject{{
		Title: "Validation Error",
		Detail: "Given request body was invalid.",
		Status: "400",
		Meta: map[string]interface{}{"field": "some_field", "error": "bad type", "expected": "string", "received": "float64"},
	}})
	return
}

Testing

MarshalOnePayloadEmbedded
MarshalOnePayloadEmbedded(w io.Writer, model interface{}) error

Visit godoc

This method is not strictly meant to for use in implementation code, although feel free. It was mainly created for use in tests; in most cases, your request payloads for create will be embedded rather than sideloaded for related records. This method will serialize a single struct pointer into an embedded json response. In other words, there will be no, included, array in the json; all relationships will be serialized inline with the data.

However, in tests, you may want to construct payloads to post to create methods that are embedded to most closely model the payloads that will be produced by the client. This method aims to enable that.

Example
out := bytes.NewBuffer(nil)

// testModel returns a pointer to a Blog
jsonapi.MarshalOnePayloadEmbedded(out, testModel())

h := new(BlogsHandler)

w := httptest.NewRecorder()
r, _ := http.NewRequest(http.MethodPost, "/blogs", out)

h.CreateBlog(w, r)

blog := new(Blog)
jsonapi.UnmarshalPayload(w.Body, blog)

// ... assert stuff about blog here ...

Alternative Installation

I use git subtrees to manage dependencies rather than go get so that the src is committed to my repo.

git subtree add --squash --prefix=src/github.com/google/jsonapi https://github.com/google/jsonapi.git master

To update,

git subtree pull --squash --prefix=src/github.com/google/jsonapi https://github.com/google/jsonapi.git master

This assumes that I have my repo structured with a src dir containing a collection of packages and GOPATH is set to the root folder--containing src.

Overview

Package jsonapi provides a serializer and deserializer for jsonapi.org spec payloads.

You can keep your model structs as is and use struct field tags to indicate to jsonapi how you want your response built or your request deserialized. What about my relationships? jsonapi supports relationships out of the box and will even side load them in your response into an "included" array--that contains associated objects.

jsonapi uses StructField tags to annotate the structs fields that you already have and use in your app and then reads and writes jsonapi.org output based on the instructions you give the library in your jsonapi tags.

Example structs using a Blog > Post > Comment structure,

type Blog struct {
	ID            int       `jsonapi:"primary,blogs"`
	Title         string    `jsonapi:"attr,title"`
	Posts         []*Post   `jsonapi:"relation,posts"`
	CurrentPost   *Post     `jsonapi:"relation,current_post"`
	CurrentPostID int       `jsonapi:"attr,current_post_id"`
	CreatedAt     time.Time `jsonapi:"attr,created_at"`
	ViewCount     int       `jsonapi:"attr,view_count"`
}

type Post struct {
	ID       int        `jsonapi:"primary,posts"`
	BlogID   int        `jsonapi:"attr,blog_id"`
	Title    string     `jsonapi:"attr,title"`
	Body     string     `jsonapi:"attr,body"`
	Comments []*Comment `jsonapi:"relation,comments"`
}

type Comment struct {
	ID     int    `jsonapi:"primary,comments"`
	PostID int    `jsonapi:"attr,post_id"`
	Body   string `jsonapi:"attr,body"`
}

jsonapi Tag Reference

Value, primary: "primary,<type field output>"

This indicates that this is the primary key field for this struct type. Tag value arguments are comma separated. The first argument must be, "primary", and the second must be the name that should appear in the "type" field for all data objects that represent this type of model.

Value, attr: "attr,<key name in attributes hash>[,<extra arguments>]"

These fields' values should end up in the "attribute" hash for a record. The first argument must be, "attr', and the second should be the name for the key to display in the "attributes" hash for that record.

The following extra arguments are also supported:

"omitempty": excludes the fields value from the "attribute" hash. "iso8601": uses the ISO8601 timestamp format when serialising or deserialising the time.Time value.

Value, relation: "relation,<key name in relationships hash>"

Relations are struct fields that represent a one-to-one or one-to-many to other structs. jsonapi will traverse the graph of relationships and marshal or unmarshal records. The first argument must be, "relation", and the second should be the name of the relationship, used as the key in the "relationships" hash for the record.

Use the methods below to Marshal and Unmarshal jsonapi.org json payloads.

Functions

func MarshalErrors

func MarshalErrors(w io.Writer, errorObjects []*ErrorObject) error

MarshalErrors writes a JSON API response using the given `[]error`.

For more information on JSON API error payloads, see the spec here: http://jsonapi.org/format/#document-top-level and here: http://jsonapi.org/format/#error-objects.

func MarshalOnePayloadEmbedded

func MarshalOnePayloadEmbedded(w io.Writer, model interface{}) error

MarshalOnePayloadEmbedded - This method not meant to for use in implementation code, although feel free. The purpose of this method is for use in tests. In most cases, your request payloads for create will be embedded rather than sideloaded for related records. This method will serialize a single struct pointer into an embedded json response. In other words, there will be no, "included", array in the json all relationships will be serailized inline in the data.

However, in tests, you may want to construct payloads to post to create methods that are embedded to most closely resemble the payloads that will be produced by the client. This is what this method is intended for.

model interface{} should be a pointer to a struct.

func MarshalPayload

func MarshalPayload(w io.Writer, models interface{}) error

MarshalPayload writes a jsonapi response for one or many records. The related records are sideloaded into the "included" array. If this method is given a struct pointer as an argument it will serialize in the form "data": {...}. If this method is given a slice of pointers, this method will serialize in the form "data": [...]

One Example: you could pass it, w, your http.ResponseWriter, and, models, a ptr to a Blog to be written to the response body:

 func ShowBlog(w http.ResponseWriter, r *http.Request) {
	 blog := &Blog{}

	 w.Header().Set("Content-Type", jsonapi.MediaType)
	 w.WriteHeader(http.StatusOK)

	 if err := jsonapi.MarshalPayload(w, blog); err != nil {
		 http.Error(w, err.Error(), http.StatusInternalServerError)
	 }
 }

Many Example: you could pass it, w, your http.ResponseWriter, and, models, a slice of Blog struct instance pointers to be written to the response body:

	 func ListBlogs(w http.ResponseWriter, r *http.Request) {
    blogs := []*Blog{}

		 w.Header().Set("Content-Type", jsonapi.MediaType)
		 w.WriteHeader(http.StatusOK)

		 if err := jsonapi.MarshalPayload(w, blogs); err != nil {
			 http.Error(w, err.Error(), http.StatusInternalServerError)
		 }
	 }

func MarshalPayloadWithoutIncluded

func MarshalPayloadWithoutIncluded(w io.Writer, model interface{}) error

MarshalPayloadWithoutIncluded writes a jsonapi response with one or many records, without the related records sideloaded into "included" array. If you want to serialize the relations into the "included" array see MarshalPayload.

models interface{} should be either a struct pointer or a slice of struct pointers.

func UnmarshalManyPayload

func UnmarshalManyPayload(in io.Reader, t reflect.Type) ([]interface{}, error)

UnmarshalManyPayload converts an io into a set of struct instances using jsonapi tags on the type's struct fields.

func UnmarshalPayload

func UnmarshalPayload(in io.Reader, model interface{}) error

UnmarshalPayload converts an io into a struct instance using jsonapi tags on struct fields. This method supports single request payloads only, at the moment. Bulk creates and updates are not supported yet.

Will Unmarshal embedded and sideloaded payloads. The latter is only possible if the object graph is complete. That is, in the "relationships" data there are type and id, keys that correspond to records in the "included" array.

For example you could pass it, in, req.Body and, model, a BlogPost struct instance to populate in an http handler,

func CreateBlog(w http.ResponseWriter, r *http.Request) {
	blog := new(Blog)

	if err := jsonapi.UnmarshalPayload(r.Body, blog); err != nil {
		http.Error(w, err.Error(), 500)
		return
	}

	// ...do stuff with your blog...

	w.Header().Set("Content-Type", jsonapi.MediaType)
	w.WriteHeader(201)

	if err := jsonapi.MarshalPayload(w, blog); err != nil {
		http.Error(w, err.Error(), 500)
	}
}

Visit https://github.com/google/jsonapi#create for more info.

model interface{} should be a pointer to a struct.

Types

type ErrUnsupportedPtrType

type ErrUnsupportedPtrType struct {
	// contains filtered or unexported fields
}

ErrUnsupportedPtrType is returned when the Struct field was a pointer but the JSON value was of a different type

func (ErrUnsupportedPtrType) Error

func (eupt ErrUnsupportedPtrType) Error() string

type ErrorObject

type ErrorObject struct {
	// ID is a unique identifier for this particular occurrence of a problem.
	ID string `json:"id,omitempty"`

	// Title is a short, human-readable summary of the problem that SHOULD NOT change from occurrence to occurrence of the problem, except for purposes of localization.
	Title string `json:"title,omitempty"`

	// Detail is a human-readable explanation specific to this occurrence of the problem. Like title, this field’s value can be localized.
	Detail string `json:"detail,omitempty"`

	// Status is the HTTP status code applicable to this problem, expressed as a string value.
	Status string `json:"status,omitempty"`

	// Code is an application-specific error code, expressed as a string value.
	Code string `json:"code,omitempty"`

	// Meta is an object containing non-standard meta-information about the error.
	Meta *map[string]interface{} `json:"meta,omitempty"`
}

ErrorObject is an `Error` implementation as well as an implementation of the JSON API error object.

The main idea behind this struct is that you can use it directly in your code as an error type and pass it directly to `MarshalErrors` to get a valid JSON API errors payload.

	Links         *Links                 `json:"links,omitempty"`
	Meta          *Meta                  `json:"meta,omitempty"`
}

Node is used to represent a generic JSON API Resource

type OnePayload

type OnePayload struct {
	Data     *Node   `json:"data"`
	Included []*Node `json:"included,omitempty"`
	Links    *Links  `json:"links,omitempty"`
	Meta     *Meta   `json:"meta,omitempty"`
}

OnePayload is used to represent a generic JSON API payload where a single resource (Node) was included as an {} in the "data" key

type Payloader

type Payloader interface {
	// contains filtered or unexported methods
}

Payloader is used to encapsulate the One and Many payload types

func Marshal

func Marshal(models interface{}) (Payloader, error)

Marshal does the same as MarshalPayload except it just returns the payload and doesn't write out results. Useful if you use your own JSON rendering library.

type RelationshipLinkable

type RelationshipLinkable interface {
	// JSONAPIRelationshipLinks will be invoked for each relationship with the corresponding relation name (e.g. `comments`)
	JSONAPIRelationshipLinks(relation string) *Links
}

RelationshipLinkable is used to include relationship links in response data e.g. {"related": "http://example.com/posts/1/comments"}

type RelationshipManyNode

type RelationshipManyNode struct {
	Data  []*Node `json:"data"`
	Links *Links  `json:"links,omitempty"`
	Meta  *Meta   `json:"meta,omitempty"`
}

RelationshipManyNode is used to represent a generic has many JSON API relation

type RelationshipMetable

type RelationshipMetable interface {
	// JSONRelationshipMeta will be invoked for each relationship with the corresponding relation name (e.g. `comments`)
	JSONAPIRelationshipMeta(relation string) *Meta
}

RelationshipMetable is used to include relationship meta in response data

type RelationshipOneNode

type RelationshipOneNode struct {
	Data  *Node  `json:"data"`
	Links *Links `json:"links,omitempty"`
	Meta  *Meta  `json:"meta,omitempty"`
}

RelationshipOneNode is used to represent a generic has one JSON API relation

type Runtime

type Runtime struct {
	// contains filtered or unexported fields
}

Runtime has the same methods as jsonapi package for serialization and deserialization but also has a ctx, a map[string]interface{} for storing state, designed for instrumenting serialization timings.

func NewRuntime

func NewRuntime() *Runtime

func (*Runtime) UnmarshalManyPayload

func (r *Runtime) UnmarshalManyPayload(reader io.Reader, kind reflect.Type) (elems []interface{}, err error)

UnmarshalManyPayload has docs in request.go for UnmarshalManyPayload.

func (*Runtime) UnmarshalPayload

func (r *Runtime) UnmarshalPayload(reader io.Reader, model interface{}) error

UnmarshalPayload has docs in request.go for UnmarshalPayload.

func (*Runtime) Value

func (r *Runtime) Value(key string) interface{}

Value returns a state variable in the runtime context.

func (*Runtime) WithValue

func (r *Runtime) WithValue(key string, value interface{}) *Runtime
