How do you decode query strings containing arrays in Go?

Question

How do you use Go to decode a query string structured like this? `/comments?ids[]=1&ids[]=2&ids[]=3` Right now this code: ``` query := r.URL.Query() for k, _ := range query { fmt.Printf("%s
", k) } ids := query.Get("ids[]") if (ids != "") { fmt.Printf("Ids: %s
", ids) } ``` results in: ``` ids[] Ids: 1 ``` Is there a built-in way to support this or am I going to have to parse this out by hand?

Accepted Answer

It looks like you can do this by calling

```
r.ParseForm()
fmt.Printf("Ids from form: %s
", r.Form["ids[]"])
```

which yields the following results:

```
Ids from form: [1 2 3]
```
