send a binary json message to a channel in go

To send a binary JSON message to a channel in Go, you can use the encoding/json package to marshal the message into a binary form and then send it to the channel.

Here's an example code snippet:

main.go
import (
    "encoding/json"
)

type Message struct {
    Name string
    Age  int
}

func main() {
    // Create a channel of byte slices
    ch := make(chan []byte)

    // Create a message
    msg := Message{
        Name: "John",
        Age:  30,
    }

    // Marshal the message into binary JSON
    data, err := json.Marshal(&msg)
    if err != nil {
        panic(err)
    }

    // Send the binary JSON message to the channel
    ch <- data
}

In the above code snippet, we create a message struct and then use the json.Marshal function to encode the message into binary JSON format. We then send the binary JSON message to the channel by using the <- operator.

Note that in order to receive the binary JSON message from the channel, the receiving function must know how to decode the binary JSON to retrieve the original message.
