Gophers, how do I json.Marshal the output in my json

of a struct array with no value?
out:
{"code":"","a":null}
but I would like to do this
{"code":"","a":[{"id":"","name":""}]}

type A struct {
ID string json:"id"
Name string json:"name"
}

type B struct {
Code string json:"code"
A []A json:"a"
}

do you know a way around? I'm not finding any other solution than to declare the structure and append something empty to make it work 😔😔

The simplest solution I found was to make an append even empty so that Go does the allocation and thus the json of the output. b.A = append(b.A, a) {"code":"","a":[{"id":"","name":""}]}

in your example I will always receive like this Foo{X: nil} so I always need to test if it's nil and if I need to tell Go that I want to print its struct .
