It's always been possible to bind using an object of type
map[string]string
. For example:If the request body was formatted as JSON (or YAML), this worked fine. You'd get a dictionary with key-values. For example, with input:
You'd get in the object:
obj["foo"] = "bar"
obj["hello"] = "world"
However, this did not work if the request's body was form-encoded (
application/x-www-form-urlencoded
ormultipart/form-data
).This PR adds support for passing a pointer to
map[string]string
toBind
that works with: Forms (POST Forms, Multipart forms), JSON, YAML. It also works with query strings. (However, it does NOT work with XML, because the XML parser doesn't allow that).Why is this useful? Sometimes, there are situations in which I'm expecting a key-value dictionary, but I do not know what keys I'll receive.
This PR includes tests.
