JSON support

We are continuing to add support for more Redis data types in Go-Redis. Today, we are happy to announce support for JSON. JSON is a Redis data structure for storing, querying, and manipulating a single JSON document.

With a JSON key in Redis, you can:

• Use it as a versatile hierarchical data type
• Opt for it as a sophisticated alternative to the traditional hash data structure
• Treat it as a singular document in a document-based database

The following example demonstrate how to get started with JSON in Go-Redis:

var ctx = context.Background()
client := redis.NewClient(&redis.Options{
	Addr: "localhost:6379",
})

type Bicycle struct {
	Brand       string
	Model       string
	Price       int
}

bicycle := Bicycle{
	Brand: "Velorim",
	Model: "Jigger",
	Price: 270,
}

_, err := client.JSONSet(ctx, "bicycle:1", "$", bicycle).Result()
if err != nil {
	panic(err)
}

res, err := client.JSONGet(ctx, "bicycle:1", ".Model").Result()
if err != nil {
	panic(err)
}
fmt.Println("bicycle:1 model is", res)
