## What it is
go is a Go CLI tool that automatically generates Go struct definitions from example JSON or YAML documents. It infers field types and  tags so developers can quickly create typed models for API responses.

## Use cases
- generate go structs from a  api response
- convert  to golang struct definitions
- create typed models for yaml config files
- quickly type an api payload in go
- generate struct tags from sample

## When to choose
- you are writing Go code that consumes a JSON or YAML API and want structs without hand-typing fields
- you want a fast, offline CLI that works with piped input like curl

## When to avoid
- you need code generation for languages other than Go
- you need runtime schema validation rather than compile-time structs
- you need actively maintained tooling with recent updates

## Facets
- artifact type: cli-tool
- maturity: maintenance
- function: cli, serialization, developer-tools
- domain: developer-tools, apis, web-development
- platform: cli, go, cross-platform
- tags: code-generation, struct-generation, -to-go, yaml, golang, command-line
