Thank you for taking your time to review my code. Yes, it is a beginner's project :D

1) How do I format the JSON for readability or should I ignore that?

2) Thanks for that. Didn't know about it. Any ideas on how I can fix that? Maybe I can check if it is a file and not a directory and ask for input again for y/n?

You're welcome.

1) What do you mean exactly? The usual way would be to keep your data in a struct like:

  type configuration struct {
    Name   string `json:"name"`
  }

and then marshall it into a json string like: https://play.golang.org/p/uWvwBY4h03n

If you need more details feel free to contact me. Address is in my profile.

No, I meant the readability in .json file. Should I care for that anyway?

Also, great website! :D

https://golang.org/pkg/encoding/json/#MarshalIndent if you want to "pretty print" the json output

That's great! :D Thanks!

You don’t have to worry about that and don’t have to manually format it.

Please take a look at this:
