Consume a REST API in Go | Convert JSON to a Struct

Converting JSON to anything is a pretty common thing to do in any programming language, so in this video we are going to learn how to take JSON from a REST API and convert it into a usable data type in Go: a struct! We will use the encoding/json package found in the standard library.

We will consume 2 REST APIs, one will be a very simple one and then we will consume one that has embedded types that you might typically see.

Documentation for both APIs can be found here:
