Pretty Printing JSON Structs in Go

👋 Welcome Gophers! In this snippet, we are going to look at how you can pretty-print JSON in Go using the json package!

In this example we have a simple interface called Flight which we want to pretty print the values for.

We can use the json.MarshalIndent function which takes in the interface we want to marshal as well as the prefix string and the indent string. In this example we don’t use a prefix, but we do set the indent to 2 empty spaces.
