Utils for JSON APIs over HTTP

A suite of standardized functions for building REST APIs over HTTP

Usage

Request Payloads

The library is flexible here. They are simply passed into the JSONDecodeAndCatchForAPI function for parsing. For 'checkable' payloads, that struct must fulfil the CheckableRequest interface.

Response Payloads

Response payloads are always of the APIResponse type:

// APIResponse contains the attributes found in an API response
type APIResponse struct {
	Message string      `json:"message"`
	Success bool        `json:"success"`
	Data    interface{} `json:"data"`
	Debug   string      `json:"debug,omitempty"`
}

Using the response payload utils

Use the JSON* functions to send your messages, data, and debug through helpers that will package up APIResponse objects, marshal them to JSON, and then send them on your HTTP writer
