Unmarshaling nested JSON objects

Question

There are a few questions on the topic but none of them seem to cover my case, thus I\'m creating a new one.

I have JSON like the following:

{\"foo\"

This is an example of how to unmarshall JSON responses from the Safebrowsing v4 API sbserver proxy server: https://play.golang.org/p/4rGB5da0Lt

// this example shows how to unmarshall JSON requests from the Safebrowsing v4 sbserver
package main

import (
    "fmt"
    "log"
    "encoding/json"
)

// response from sbserver POST request
type Results struct {
    Matches []Match     
}

// nested within sbserver response
type Match struct {
    ThreatType string 
    PlatformType string 
    ThreatEntryType string 
    Threat struct {
        URL string
    }
}

func main() {
    fmt.Println("Hello, playground")

    // sample POST request
    //   curl -X POST -H 'Content-Type: application/json' 
    // -d '{"threatInfo": {"threatEntries": [{"url": "http://testsafebrowsing.appspot.com/apiv4/ANY_PLATFORM/MALWARE/URL/"}]}}' 
    // http://127.0.0.1:8080/v4/threatMatches:find

    // sample JSON response
    jsonResponse := `{"matches":[{"threatType":"MALWARE","platformType":"ANY_PLATFORM","threatEntryType":"URL","threat":{"url":"http://testsafebrowsing.appspot.com/apiv4/ANY_PLATFORM/MALWARE/URL/"}}]}`

    res := &Results{}
    err := json.Unmarshal([]byte(jsonResponse), res)
        if(err!=nil) {
            log.Fatal(err)
        }

    fmt.Printf("%v\n",res)
    fmt.Printf("\tThreat Type: %s\n",res.Matches[0].ThreatType)
    fmt.Printf("\tPlatform Type: %s\n",res.Matches[0].PlatformType)
    fmt.Printf("\tThreat Entry Type: %s\n",res.Matches[0].ThreatEntryType)
    fmt.Printf("\tURL: %s\n",res.Matches[0].Threat.URL)
}
