 2. It reduces the risk of errors on the client side, because it's harder to accidentally process one response thinking that it is something different. To get at the data, a client must explicitly reference it via the "movie" key.
 3. If we always envelope the data returned by our API, then we mitigate a security vulnerability in older browsers which can arise if you return a JSON array as a response.
 
+### Advanced JSON Customization
+
+_When Go is encoding a particular type to JSON, it looks to see if the type has a **MarshalJSON()** method implemented on it. If it has, then Go will call this method to determine how to encode it._
+
+Strictly speaking, when Go is encoding a particular type to JSON it looks to see if the type satisfies the json.Marshaler interface, which looks like this :
+
+`type Marshaler interface {
+    MarshalJSON() ([]byte, error)
+}`
+
+If the type does satisfy the interface, then Go will call its **MarshalJSON()** method and use the []byte slice that it returns as the encoded JSON value.
+
+If the type doesn't have a **MarshalJSON()** method, then Go will fall back to trying to encode it to JSON based on its own internal set of rules.
+
+So, if we want to customize how something is encoded, all we need to do is implement a **MarshalJSON()** method on it which returns a _custom JSON representation of itself_ in a **[]byte** slice.
+
+An example is available here : **internal/data/runtime.go**
+
 ### Performance
 
 json.MarshalIndent() takes 65% longer to run and uses around 30% more memory than json.Marshal(), as well as making two more heap allocations. Those figures will change depending on what you're encoding, but they're fairly indicative of the performance impact.
