How to handle MIME-encoded HTTP requests (e.g., POST requests with JSON data) in Go?

To handle MIME-encoded HTTP requests with JSON data in Go, you can use the net/http package along with the encoding/json package for JSON decoding. Here's an example of how you can handle MIME-encoded POST requests with JSON data in Go.

First, define a struct that represents your JSON data. For example:

type User struct { Name string `json:"name"` Age int `json:"age"` }

Then, create an HTTP handler function to handle the requests:

func handlePostRequest(w http.ResponseWriter, r *http.Request) { if r.Method != http.MethodPost { http.Error(w, "Method not allowed", http.StatusMethodNotAllowed) return } // Set the content type header to JSON w.Header().Set("Content-Type", "application/json") // Decode the JSON data from the request body into the struct var user User err := json.NewDecoder(r.Body).Decode(&user) if err != nil { http.Error(w, "Bad request", http.StatusBadRequest) return } // Do something with the user data // ... // Send a JSON response json.NewEncoder(w).Encode(user) }

In your main function, create an HTTP server and register the handler:

func main() { http.HandleFunc("/user", handlePostRequest) http.ListenAndServe(":8080", nil) }

Now, when you send a POST request to /user with the appropriate JSON data, the server will decode the JSON and you can handle the data as desired.
