Added support for receiving and decoding error JSON structs
Renamed Sling JsonBody setter to BodyJSON (breaking)
Renamed Sling BodyStruct setter to BodyForm (breaking)
Renamed Sling fields httpClient, method, rawURL, and header to be internal (breaking)
Changed Do and Receive to skip response JSON decoding if "application/json" Content-Type is missing
Changed Sling.Receive(v interface{}) to Sling.Receive(successV, failureV interface{}) (breaking)
- Previously Receive attempted to decode the response Body in all cases
- Updated Receive will decode the response Body into successV for 2XX responses or decode the Body into failureV for other status codes. Pass a nil successV or failureV to skip JSON decoding into that value.
- To upgrade, pass nil for the failureV argument or consider defining a JSON tagged struct appropriate for the API endpoint. (e.g. s.Receive(&issue, nil), s.Receive(&issue, &githubError))
- To retain the old behavior, duplicate the first argument (e.g. s.Receive(&tweet, &tweet))
Changed Sling.Do(http.Request, v interface{}) to Sling.Do(http.Request, successV, failureV interface{}) (breaking)
- See the changelog entry about Receive, the upgrade path is the same.
Removed HEAD, GET, POST, PUT, PATCH, DELETE constants, no reason to export them (breaking)
