Access HTTP response as string in Go

Question

I\'d like to parse the response of a web request, but I\'m getting trouble accessing it as string.

func main() {
    resp, err := http.Get(\"http://google.h         


        

Answer 1

The method you're using to read the http body response returns a byte slice:

func ReadAll(r io.Reader) ([]byte, error)

official documentation

You can convert []byte to a string by using

body, err := ioutil.ReadAll(resp.Body)
bodyString := string(body)
