Overview
The io package consists of a few functions, but mostly interfaces used by other packages.
Reader
An interface that exposes Read().
Readers can be used to unmarshall JSON into structs as shown here:
Files opened with os.Create() implement io.Reader.
Wrapping a []byte into a Reader
A []byte can be wrapped into a Reader with:
import "bytes"
bs := []byte("something")
r := bytes.NewReader(bs)
Writer
Files opened with os.Create() implement io.Writer.
Closer
Files opened with os.Create() implement io.Closer.
ReadCloser
An interface that exposes basic Read() and Close() methods. The http.Request body is a ReadCloser. See Reader.
