Accessing JSON received via POST from file

Question

I'm building a RESTful API using Martini and have a hard time accessing the contents of book.json sent to my service via

curl -X POST "http://localhost:8080/books" -H "Content-Type: application/json" -d @book.json

book.json is not a binary file but a simple text file containing a JSON array. How can I access the transmitted JSON? PostForm on the http.Request is empty.

did you call `request.ParseForm()` before accessing the `PostForm`? Please show your go handler code AND data structures AND json, as all of them are necessary to pinpoint the problem! — tike, Mar 18 '14 at 17:00
Can you try `book:=Book{};json.NewDecoder(req.Body).Decode(&book)`? — nvcnvn, Mar 19 '14 at 17:21
or what you want is just prin it out? Maybe with `ioutil.ReadAll(req.Body)` — nvcnvn, Mar 19 '14 at 17:28

I know this is old but you are probably looking for Martini Binding

https://github.com/martini-contrib/binding

m.Post("/contact/submit", binding.Bind(ContactForm{}), func(contact ContactForm) string {
    return fmt.Sprintf("Name: %s\nEmail: %s\nMessage: %s",
        contact.Name, contact.Email, contact.Message)
})

You probably have data in request.Body that you can demarshal. Imho this aticle explains well the problem: http://nathanleclaire.com/blog/2013/11/30/fear-and-loathing-with-golang-and-angular-js/
