Wow, I didn't realise until now that Unmarshal does case-insensitive matching: https://play.golang.org/p/wddrcakLvr_Q The documentation <https://pkg.go.dev/encoding/json#Unmarshal> says it prefers exact match over case-insensitive, but example 3 contradicts that. It seems to be last-match that wins.
Regardless of any X-Y issue, this seems broken to me. If I define a particular API, I want to enforce that it's being used in the way that I defined. Accepting arbitrary variations just stores up problems for the future. Case-insensitivity can open up its own issues: e.g. https://www.theregister.com/2021/09/22/macos_rce_flaw/ As a workaround, you could use a YAML decoder to decode JSON. JSON is a subset of YAML. If you don't want to accept YAML as well, then you might have to decode it twice: once to confirm that it's structurally JSON, and again to extract the data. https://play.golang.org/p/XHlvdlyQqMI On Thursday, 23 September 2021 at 21:53:23 UTC+1 xav...@gmail.com wrote: > Hi Aaron, > > I'm not aware of a JSON library that fits your needs, but there might be > an XY Problem <https://xyproblem.info/> going on here.
