Store a JSON object in a JSON array golang

Question

I have this JSON Object :

  {
    "name": "test.counter",
    "value": 1.234,
    "ts": 1234567890  
  }

And I would like to store the entire thing in a JSON array so it could look like this:

[
  {
    "name": "test.counter",
    "value": 1.234,
    "ts": 1234567890
  }
]

How can I do this? I'm kind of new to Golang. EDIT: I'm creating the JSON object

output := &Output{
    Name:  url[0],
    Milli: ms,
    Epoch: time.Now().Unix(),
    }
out1, _ := json.Marshal(output)

How is your JSON object coming through on the backend? Is it coming through a request body? — william.taylor.09

Just add the "[" and "]" to the string you get after marshaling. No need for cleverness here. — Volker

You just crate a slice of Output structs, and you can just Marshal that.

output := Output{
    Name:  url[0],
    Milli: ms,
    Epoch: time.Now().Unix(),
    }

outputs := []Output{output}
out1, _ := json.Marshal(outputs)
