This Go module provides utilities for sending HTTP requests and processing JSON responses, including functionality for sending requests and pretty-printing JSON data.

Features

• Send HTTP requests with various HTTP methods (GET, POST, PUT, PATCH, DELETE).
• Parse and return JSON responses as a map.
• Pretty-print JSON data for easier debugging and logging.

Usage

Sending HTTP Requests

You can use the SendHttpRequest function to send HTTP requests and parse JSON responses.

Example:

package main

import (
	"bytes"
	"fmt"
	"net/http"
)

func main() {
	// Create a sample POST request
	url := "https://jsonplaceholder.typicode.com/posts"
	body := bytes.NewBuffer([]byte(`{"title": "foo", "body": "bar", "userId": 1}`))
	request, err := http.NewRequest("POST", url, body)
	if err != nil {
		panic(err)
	}
	request.Header.Set("Content-Type", "application/json")

	// Send the request
	response, err := SendHttpRequest(request)
	if err != nil {
		panic(err)
	}

	// Pretty print the response
	fmt.Println(PrettyPrintJSON(response))
}

Pretty Printing JSON

The PrettyPrintJSON function can be used to format JSON data for better readability.

Example:

package main

import (
	"fmt"
)

func main() {
	jsonData := map[string]interface{}{
		"status": 200,
		"data":   "{"message":"Success"}",
	}

	// Pretty print the JSON
	fmt.Println(PrettyPrintJSON(jsonData))
}
