Hello all,
I'm new to Go, and I have a question about identifying types as they're
encountered in traversing a map[string]interface{}.
I've ended up with a big sieve of type assertions something like this:
if mt.Mi, ok = m.(map[string]int); ok {
nval, ok = mt.Mi[mk]
} else if mt.MI, ok = m.(map[string]interface{}); ok {
nval, ok = mt.MI[mk]
} else if mt.Mai, ok = m.(map[string][]int); ok {
nval, ok = mt.Mai[mk]
} else if mt.Mas, ok = m.(map[string][]string); ok {
nval, ok = mt.Mas[mk]
} else if mt.Mmm, ok = m.(map[string]map[string]interface{}); ok {
nval, ok = mt.Mmm[mk]
mt here is a struct that performs no work; it just associates a type to a
name, so that the run-time can see the types of the left and the right
sides of the assignment and determine if an assignment is possible. I
really hate looking at that statement, but all my attempts at using
reflection have failed as the compiler can't allocate with all the possible
types that could be returned, even though in my application I only want to
allocate for these five types. So that's my question: Can I DRY this up?
