/* Package jsonapi provides a serializer and deserializer for jsonapi.org spec payloads. You can keep your model structs as is and use struct field tags to indicate to jsonapi how you want your response built or your request deserialzied. What about my relationships? jsonapi supports relationships out of the box and will even side load them in your response into an "included" array--that contains associated objects. jsonapi uses StructField tags to annotate the structs fields that you already have and use in your app and then reads and writes jsonapi.org output based on the instructions you give the library in your jsonapi tags. Example structs using a Blog > Post > Comment structure, type Blog struct { Id int `jsonapi:"primary,blogs"` Title string `jsonapi:"attr,title"` Posts []*Post `jsonapi:"relation,posts"` CurrentPost *Post `jsonapi:"relation,current_post"` CurrentPostId int `jsonapi:"attr,current_post_id"` CreatedAt time.Time `jsonapi:"attr,created_at"` ViewCount int `jsonapi:"attr,view_count"` } type Post struct { Id int `jsonapi:"primary,posts"` BlogId int `jsonapi:"attr,blog_id"` Title string `jsonapi:"attr,title"` Body string `jsonapi:"attr,body"` Comments []*Comment `jsonapi:"relation,comments"` } type Comment struct { Id int `jsonapi:"primary,comments"` PostId int `jsonapi:"attr,post_id"` Body string `jsonapi:"attr,body"` } jsonapi Tag Reference Value, primary: "primary," This indicates that this is the primary key field for this struct type. Tag value arguments are comma separated. The first argument must be, "primary", and the second must be the name that should appear in the "type" field for all data objects that represent this type of model. Value, attr: "attr," These fields' values should end up in the "attribute" hash for a record. The first argument must be, "attr', and the second should be the name for the key to display in the the "attributes" hash for that record. Value, relation: "relation," Relations are struct fields that represent a one-to-one or one-to-many to other structs. jsonapi will traverse the graph of relationships and marshal or unmarshal records. The first argument must be, "relation", and the second should be the name of the relationship, used as the key in the "relationships" hash for the record. Use the methods below to Marshal and Unmarshal jsonapi.org json payloads. Visit the readme at https://github.com/shwoodard/jsonapi */ package jsonapi
