} 

fn main() {
    data := '{ "name": "Frodo", "age": 25 }'
    user := json.decode(User, data) or {
        eprintln('Failed to decode json')
        return 
    } 
    println(user.name)
    println(user.age) 
}

and then run it -

It seems that you forget to import json. Add the next line at the begining of your code:

import json
