Declaring a name next to the field

[cinematik (Andre)]

What does this notation mean when we declare some name next to the field?

type Poet struct {
    PS string `name:"testString"`
}

How to use it?

This is for example used to declare how the elements of a JSON object map to the struct members.

Example:

json:"key" you send key as key

or

json:"KeY" you send key as KeY

or

json:"KeY,omitempty" you send key as KeY, but is the value empty, it is not considered.
