JSON the Fine Print: For Engineers & Managers

This is a free, 1-hour event for engineers & managers who want to improve on their serialization skills using JSON & Go. An intermediate understanding of the Go programming language is recommended.

Everybody knows JSON, it's a simple text-based serialization format.

However, as they say, the devil is in the details.

In this talk, we'll explore some big-picture aspects of using JSON (and serialization in general) and look at several techniques for working with JSON.

Some of the topics we'll cover are:

- Common mistakes
- JSON & Go types
- The missing-vs-zero value problem and ways to solve it
- Avoiding type pollution
- Custom serialization
- Streaming JSON
