ctx.shouldBindJSON crashes when called twice

[simon-winter]

Description

When having a layered architecture that goes through some middleware before reaching the default route, than calling ShouldBindJSON a second time on the same context will fatal crash the app with EOF exception.

How to reproduce

call this twice with a valid model/JSON in a HandlerFunc:

if err := ctx.ShouldBindJSON(model); err != nil {
	ctx.JSON(http.StatusBadRequest, gin.H{"error": err.Error()})
	return
}

Expectations

I can bind the json multiple times to an object

Actual result

some internal reader goes EOF when calling it a second time

Environment

• go version: 1.23.3
• gin version (or commit ref): 1.10.0
• operating system: Windows

Yes, I have the same need and am also encountering the EOF issue. Looking forward to a resolution.

The request body is an io.Reader instance, which typically contains a byte buffer and a read offset. When ShouldBindJSON is called for the first time, it reads the buffer and sets the offset to the end.

You can read it only once and store it in the gin.Context to pass between middleware. I hope my answer helps you. :)
