When working with JSON strings, I prefer to use the Decode() function for unmarshalling:
var data Data
decoder := json.NewDecoder(input)
err = decoder.Decode(&data)
The structure of my data is defined as:
type Data map[string]interface{}
An example of my test data looks like this:
{
"names": [
"APPLE",
"BANANA",
"ORANGE"
],
"id":1234,
"action":"fruitSelection"
}
Although the decoding process goes smoothly for numbers and regular strings, when dealing with an array of strings, I encounter the following panic:
panic: interface conversion: interface is []interface {}, not []string
