I am trying to connect to an endpoint that does http streaming of json data. I was wondering how to perform a basic request using Go's net/http package and read the response as it comes in. Currently, I am only able to read the response when the connection closes.
resp, err := http.Get("localhost:8080/stream")
if err != nil {
...
}
...
// perform work while connected and getting data
Any insight would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks!

The answer provided by Eve Freeman is the correct way to read json data. For reading any type of data, you can use the method below:
resp, err := http.Get("http://localhost:3000/stream")
...
reader := bufio.NewReader(resp.Body)
for {
line, err := reader.ReadBytes('\n')
...
log.Println(string(line))
}
The way to do streaming JSON parsing is with a Decoder:
json.NewDecoder(resp.Body).Decode(&yourStuff)
For a streaming API where it's a bunch of objects coming back (a la Twitter), that should stream great with this model and the built-in encoding/json API. But if it's a large response where you have an object that's got a giant array with 10MB of stuff, you probably need to write your own Decoder to pull those inner pieces out and return them. I'm running into that problem with a library I've written.
