Example of JSON POST with connection timeout

// JSONReceive - json response
type JSONReceive struct {
    ID     int64  `json:"id"`
    Title  string `json:"title"`
    Body   string `json:"body"`
    UserID int64  `json:"userId"`
}
// JSONSend - json post
type JSONSend struct {
    Title  string `json:"title"`
    Body   string `json:"body"`
    UserID int64  `json:"userId"`
}
func main() {
    timeout := 10 * time.Second
    jsonData := &JSONSend{
        Title:  "fancy book",
        Body:   "this is a fancy book",
        UserID: 12,
    }
    req, err := gowrex.Request{
        URI:     "http://jsonplaceholder.typicode.com/posts",
        Timeout: timeout}.PostJSON(jsonData)
    if err != nil {
        log.Println(err)
    }
    res, err := req.Do()
    if err != nil {
        log.Println(err)
    }
    resp := &JSONReceive{}
    res.JSON(resp)
    // should print - this is a fancy book
    fmt.Println(resp.Body)
}
