JSON returned is capitalised

[syahnur197]

If we use the following

type Job struct {
    gorm.Model
    Title     string         
    Company   string     
    Salary    string         
    Location  string 
}

It will return the following JSON in API

{
  "ID" : 1,
  "CreatedAt" : "foo",
  "UpdatedAt" : "foo",
  "DeletedAt": "foo",
  "Title" : "foo",
  "Company" : "foo",
  "Salary" : "foo",
  "Location" : "foo",
}

Annotating the struct with json"field" won't lowercase the fields in gorm.Model

type Job struct {
    gorm.Model
    Title     string `json:"title"` 
    Company   string `json:"company"`
    Salary    string `json:"salary"`
    Location  string `json:"location"`
}

It will return the following JSON in API

{
  "ID" : 1,
  "CreatedAt" : "foo",
  "UpdatedAt" : "foo",
  "DeletedAt": "foo",
  "title" : "foo",
  "company" : "foo",
  "salary" : "foo",
  "location" : "foo",
}

To lowercase all the fields we can't use gorm.Model

type Job struct {
    ID        uint           `gorm:"primarykey" json:"id"`
    CreatedAt time.Time      `json:"created_at"`
    UpdatedAt time.Time      `json:"updated_at"`
    DeletedAt gorm.DeletedAt `gorm:"index" json:"deleted_at"`
    Title     string         `json:"title"`
    Company   string         `json:"company"`
    Salary    string         `json:"salary"`
    Location  string         `json:"location"`
}

It will return the following JSON in API

{
  "id" : 1,
  "created_at" : "foo",
  "updated_at" : "foo",
  "deleted_at": "foo",
  "title" : "foo",
  "company" : "foo",
  "salary" : "foo",
  "location" : "foo",
}

I prefer the above JSON fields since it's the common convention in API response. What do you think?

Can we not create our own base model to use instead of gorm.model?
