We currently support binding of JSON, XML, YAML and standard form values (foo=bar&boo=baz). + +Gin uses [**go-playground/validator.v8**](https://github.com/go-playground/validator) for validation. Check the full docs on tags usage [here](http://godoc.org/gopkg.in/go-playground/validator.v8#hdr-Baked_In_Validators_and_Tags). + +Note that you need to set the corresponding binding tag on all fields you want to bind. For example, when binding from JSON, set `json:"fieldname"`. + +Also, Gin provides two sets of methods for binding: +- **Type** - Must bind + - **Methods** - `Bind`, `BindJSON`, `BindXML`, `BindQuery`, `BindYAML` + - **Behavior** - These methods use `MustBindWith` under the hood. If there is a binding error, the request is aborted with `c.AbortWithError(400, err).SetType(ErrorTypeBind)`. This sets the response status code to 400 and the `Content-Type` header is set to `text/plain; charset=utf-8`. Note that if you try to set the response code after this, it will result in a warning `[GIN-debug] [WARNING] Headers were already written. Wanted to override status code 400 with 422`. If you wish to have greater control over the behavior, consider using the `ShouldBind` equivalent method. +- **Type** - Should bind + - **Methods** - `ShouldBind`, `ShouldBindJSON`, `ShouldBindXML`, `ShouldBindQuery`, `ShouldBindYAML` + - **Behavior** - These methods use `ShouldBindWith` under the hood. If there is a binding error, the error is returned and it is the developer's responsibility to handle the request and error appropriately. + +When using the Bind-method, Gin tries to infer the binder depending on the Content-Type header. If you are sure what you are binding, you can use `MustBindWith` or `ShouldBindWith`. + +You can also specify that specific fields are required. If a field is decorated with `binding:"required"` and has a empty value when binding, an error will be returned. + +```go +// Binding from JSON +type Login struct { + User string `form:"user" json:"user" xml:"user" binding:"required"` + Password string `form:"password" json:"password" xml:"password" binding:"required"` +} + +func main() { + router := gin.Default() + + // Example for binding JSON ({"user": "manu", "password": "123"}) + router.POST("/loginJSON", func(c *gin.Context) { + var json Login + if err := c.ShouldBindJSON(&json); err != nil { + c.JSON(http.StatusBadRequest, gin.H{"error": err.Error()}) + return + } + + if json.User != "manu" || json.Password != "123" { + c.JSON(http.StatusUnauthorized, gin.H{"status": "unauthorized"}) + return + } + + c.JSON(http.StatusOK, gin.H{"status": "you are logged in"}) + }) + + // Example for binding XML ( + // + // + // user + // 123 + // ) + router.POST("/loginXML", func(c *gin.Context) { + var xml Login + if err := c.ShouldBindXML(&xml); err != nil { + c.JSON(http.StatusBadRequest, gin.H{"error": err.Error()}) + return + } + + if xml.User != "manu" || xml.Password != "123" { + c.JSON(http.StatusUnauthorized, gin.H{"status": "unauthorized"}) + return + } + + c.JSON(http.StatusOK, gin.H{"status": "you are logged in"}) + }) + + // Example for binding a HTML form (user=manu&password=123) + router.POST("/loginForm", func(c *gin.Context) { + var form Login + // This will infer what binder to use depending on the content-type header. + if err := c.ShouldBind(&form); err != nil { + c.JSON(http.StatusBadRequest, gin.H{"error": err.Error()}) + return + } + + if form.User != "manu" || form.Password != "123" { + c.JSON(http.StatusUnauthorized, gin.H{"status": "unauthorized"}) + return + } + + c.JSON(http.StatusOK, gin.H{"status": "you are logged in"}) + }) + + // Listen and serve on 0.0.0.0:8080 + router.Run(":8080") +} +``` + +**Sample request** +```shell +$ curl -v -X POST \ + http://localhost:8080/loginJSON \ + -H 'content-type: application/json' \ + -d '{ "user": "manu" }' +> POST /loginJSON HTTP/1.1 +> Host: localhost:8080 +> User-Agent: curl/7.51.0 +> Accept: */* +> content-type: application/json +> Content-Length: 18 +> +* upload completely sent off: 18 out of 18 bytes +< HTTP/1.1 400 Bad Request +< Content-Type: application/json; charset=utf-8 +< Date: Fri, 04 Aug 2017 03:51:31 GMT +< Content-Length: 100 +< +{"error":"Key: 'Login.Password' Error:Field validation for 'Password' failed on the 'required' tag"} +``` + +**Skip validate** + +When running the above example using the above the `curl` command, it returns error.
