Summary

This also ends our chapter on using common data formats. We have covered how to read and write with CSV files and Excel reports. Additionally, we have learned how to encode and decode data in JSON and YAML formats. This chapter has shown how we can decode data in streams while reinforcing ways to concurrently read and use data with goroutines.

Your newly acquired skills for JSON will be immediately useful in our next chapter. In that chapter, we will look at how to connect to SQL databases and interact with RPC services. As REST RPC services and databases such as Postgres can use JSON, this skill will come in handy.

So, let's jump in!
