Parsing multiple JSON objects in Go

by

Assuming your input is really a series of valid JSON documents, use a json.Decoder to decode them:

package main

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

var input = `
{"foo": "bar"}
{"foo": "baz"}
`

type Doc struct {
    Foo string
}

func main() {
    dec := json.NewDecoder(strings.NewReader(input))
    for {
        var doc Doc

        err := dec.Decode(&doc)
        if err == io.EOF {
            // all done
            break
        }
        if err != nil {
            log.Fatal(err)
        }

        fmt.Printf("%+v\n", doc)
    }
}

If your input really is what you’ve shown in the question, that’s not JSON and you have to write your own parser.
