parse JSON request

Simple demo of how to decode JSON data coming from an http POST request.

Run the server with go run server.go and then make a curl request:

. post.sh

… or …

curl -d @- http://localhost:8080/user
{
  "name": {
    "first": "Bob",
    "last":  "Jones"
  }
}
# CTRL-D

You should get back:

Hi Bob Jones!
