Use []interface{} to represent the data to be encoded to the JSON array. An interface{} can hold any Go value.

data := []interface{}{t1{ID: "123456"}, t2{Name: "Slash"}}
p, err := json.Marshal(data)
if err != nil {
    log.Fatal(err)
}

The types t1 and t2 in the snippet above are assumed to be the your types. Modify the names to your actual types.

Create a form:

form := url.Values{"data": []string{string(p)}}

Post the form:

http.DefaultClient.PostForm(url, form)
