Description

I use context.Context.Json to set status code and response message, but I found the code is only set to code in context.Writer, but when I get status by using context.Status(), it only returns status from context.Writer.ResponseWriter's status

How to reproduce

package main

import (
	"github.com/gin-gonic/gin"
)

func main() {
	g := gin.Default()
	g.GET("/hello/:name", func(c *gin.Context) {
		c.Json(500, "Hello %s", c.Param("name"))
		fmt.Println(c.Status())
	})
	g.Run(":9000")
}

Expectations

$ curl http://localhost:9000/hello/world
500

Actual result

$ curl -i http://localhost:9000/hello/world
200

Environment

• go version: 1.20.9
• gin version (or commit ref): 1.19.1
• operating system:mac OS

1. c.JSON only takes a number and an object

// JSON serializes the given struct as JSON into the response body.
// It also sets the Content-Type as "application/json".
func (c *Context) JSON(code int, obj any) {
	c.Render(code, render.JSON{Data: obj})
}

2. c.Status() is only used to set the status and it does not return anything

// Status sets the HTTP response code.
func (c *Context) Status(code int) {
	c.Writer.WriteHeader(code)
}

it is working as expected

package main

import (
	"fmt"
	"github.com/gin-gonic/gin"
)

func main() {
	g := gin.Default()
	g.GET("/hello/:name", func(c *gin.Context) {
		responseString := fmt.Sprintf("Hello %s", c.Param("name"))
		c.JSON(200, gin.H{"name": responseString})
	})
	g.Run(":9000")
}

$ curl -i http://localhost:9000/hello/yo
