Parse top-level json array in Go

main.go

/*
  Some json APIs tend to present list responses in 
  a single array not wrapped in the usual { "results" :[] } style.

  Below is a simple way of parsing [ { ... }, { ... }, ... ] json responses.

package main

import (
	"encoding/json"
	"fmt"
)

type Product struct {
	Id   int    `json:"id"`
	Name string `json:"name"`
}

func main() {
	productsList := []byte(`[{"id": 1,"name": "gold"},{"id": 2,"name": "silver"},{"id": 3,"name": "bronze"}]`)
	var products []Product
	json.Unmarshal(productsList, &products)
	fmt.Printf("%v", products)
