Printing structs; convert structs to JSON format easily.

printStruct.go

// Printing structs.
// http://research.swtch.com/gotour

package main

import (
	"encoding/json"
	"fmt"
	"log"
)

type Arc struct {
	Head     string
	Modifier string
}

func main() {
	arc := Arc{"saw", "He"}
	fmt.Printf("%v\n", arc)
	fmt.Printf("%+v\n", arc)
	fmt.Printf("%#v\n", arc)

	// Convert structs to JSON.
	data, err := json.Marshal(arc)
	if err != nil {
		log.Fatal(err)
	}
	fmt.Printf("%s\n", data)
}

Yes, that's what I ended up doing. The error I made was that Marshal has 2 return values and I embedded the return into a function, which Bob says is bad habit and shouldn't be done in Go. Once I made the call return two variables (to separate err), then Println didn't print the byte array.

Thanks!!

thanks works fine for me :)

Works without any extra effort (for private fields too).
