🎯 Serving JSON in Go β€” 2025 Edition

Building a Go API? Make your JSON clean, consistent, and client-friendly:

βœ… Centralize response logic with a reusable helper
βœ… Use struct tags to control field names and visibility
βœ… Prefer Marshal over Encoder for safer error handling
βœ… Pretty-print JSON when debugging

Smart structure keeps your API easy to use and easy to maintain.
