Frequently Asked Questions
How do I convert a curl command to Go?
Paste your curl command in the input box and click "Convert". The tool generates Go code using the standard net/http package with proper error handling.
Do I need to install any packages for HTTP requests in Go?
No! The generated code uses Go's built-in net/http package which is part of the standard library. No external dependencies are required.
How do I handle JSON responses in Go?
Use json.Unmarshal() to decode the response body into a Go struct. Define a struct that matches your JSON structure and unmarshal into it.
Does the generated code follow Go best practices?
Yes! The code includes proper error handling, defers the response body close, and uses http.Client for better control over the request lifecycle.
How do I add timeouts to Go HTTP requests?
Create an http.Client with a Timeout field, or use context.WithTimeout() for more granular control over the request lifecycle.
