Golang json Unmarshal “unexpected end of JSON input”

by

The unexpected end of JSON input is the result of a syntax error in the JSON input (likely a missing ", }, or ]). The error does not depend on the type of the value that you are decoding to.

I ran the code with the example JSON input on the playground. It runs without error.

The code does not decode anything because the result field is not exported. If you export the result field:

type ResultStruct struct {
   Result []map[string]string
}

then the input is decoded as shown in this playground example.

I suspect that you are not reading the entire response body in your application. I suggest decoding the JSON input using:

err := json.NewDecoder(resp.Body).Decode(&jsonData)

The decoder reads directly from the response body.
