You can use dot and array +// notation too: +// +// m.Get("places[0].latlng") +// +// Once you have saught the `Value` you're interested in, you can use the `Is*` methods +// to determine its type. +// +// if m.Get("code").IsStr() { /* ... */ } +// +// Or you can just assume the type, and use one of the strong type methods to +// extract the real value: +// +// m.Get("code").Int() +// +// If there's no value there (or if it's the wrong type) then a default value +// will be returned, or you can be explicit about the default value. +// +// Get("code").Int(-1) +// +// If you're dealing with a slice of data as a value, Objx provides many useful +// methods for iterating, manipulating and selecting that data. You can find out more +// by exploring the index below. +// +// Reading data +// +// A simple example of how to use Objx: +// +// // use MustFromJSON to make an objx.Map from some JSON +// m := objx.MustFromJSON(`{"name": "Mat", "age": 30}`) +// +// // get the details +// name := m.Get("name").Str() +// age := m.Get("age").Int() +// +// // get their nickname (or use their name if they +// // don't have one) +// nickname := m.Get("nickname").Str(name) +// +// Ranging +// +// Since `objx.Map` is a `map[string]interface{}` you can treat it as such. For +// example, to `range` the data, do what you would expect: +// +// m := objx.MustFromJSON(json) +// for key, value := range m { +// +// /* ... do your magic ... */ +// +// } +package objx -- cgit v1.2.3-1-g7c22
