Lessons Learned

JSON to Objects Mappings

Maps to a []object or array of objects:

[
    { 
        "key1": "value1",
        "key2": "value2"
    },
    { 
        "key1": "value3",
        "key2": "value4"
    }
]

Maps to a map of [string]object

{
	"object1": {
		"key1": "value1",
		"key2": "value2"
	},
	"object2": {
		"key1": "value3",
		"key2": "value4"
	}
}

"html/template"

• https://golang.org/pkg/html/template/
• Same as Hugo's templates. So I already knew them.

"text/template"

• https://golang.org/pkg/text/template/
• Very similar to HTML templates but used for manipulating text.
• Use instead of a lot of fmt.Sprintfs.
