I'm wondering if there is a solution for telling ffjson how to construct objects? Ideally ffjson would call a function that I define to return a new object. Then I could set default values etc., before unmarshalling (in the case that the field is not in the json)
In my case I have a large structure with many nested structures which ffjson ends up creating so it is not possible to set the defaults before unmarshalling.
e.g.,
type Foo struct {
A int
B int
}
type Bar struct {
A int
Foo *Foo
}
var bar Bar
ffjson.Unmarshal([]byte(`{ "a": 1, "foo": { "b": 2 } }`, &bar)
If the ffjson generated code called, for example, NewFoo() instead of new(Foo) I could set defaults (or perhaps do something else like Pooling if appropriate)
