Unmarshaling works flawlessly, but when marshaling a value (not a pointer) the outcome is {} because MarshalJSON is implemented for a pointer reciever not a value reciever, is this intended ? if so, could you explain why is it implemented that way ?
Using this example: here is the playground link: https://go.dev/play/p/59r5A-OJtUl
package main
import (
"encoding/json"
"fmt"
orderedmap "github.com/wk8/go-ordered-map/v2"
)
func main() {
b := []byte(`
{
"key_1": "value_1",
"key_2": "value_2"
}
`)
var s orderedmap.OrderedMap[string, string]
if err := json.Unmarshal(b, &s); err != nil {
panic(err)
}
for pair := s.Oldest(); pair != nil; pair = pair.Next() {
fmt.Println(pair.Key, pair.Value)
// this prints:
// key_1 value_1
// key_2 value_2
}
b, err := json.Marshal(s)
if err != nil {
panic(err)
}
fmt.Println(string(b)) // this prints: {}
}
