package main

import {
		 "fmt"
}
// The goal is to download the JSON content
const url = "http://services.explorecalifornia.org/json/tours.php"
// Am able to create an HTTP server with Go
func main() {
			// Once we call this function, we receive a response object. That is the object called "resp". Also a function that could return an error, hence why "err" is added
			resp, err := http.Get(url)
			if err != nil {
					// Then we panic and pass in the err object
					panic(err)
			}
			// An uppercase T is used for the type. Then we pass in the "resp" object
		 fmt.Printf("Response type: %T\n", resp)
}
  • Once we run the above, we receive a pointer to an object named “response”: 
    // This is a member of the HTTP package. The "response" object has a public field called "body". The body represents everything, in particular the json packet
Response type: *http.Response
  • We now need code to close the body: ``` package main

import { “fmt” } const url = “http://services.explorecalifornia.org/json/tours.php” func main() { resp, err := http.Get(url) if err != nil { panic(err) } fmt.Printf(“Response type: %T\n”, resp) // We are deferring the call and therefore everything else will happen, once this has finished defer resp.Body.Close()

	 // We will receive an array called byte array. Its name is "bytes"
	 
	 bytes, err := ioutil.ReadAll(resp.Body) 
	 if err != nil {
		  	panic(err)
		}
		
		// We are starting with an array of bytes and therefore needs to start with a string
		// content's value is set to "bytes", wrapped in the "string" function
		content := string(bytes)
		fmt.Printf(content) } ``` * We would then receive all of the data from the particular web page.
