Thanks a lot, I went back and gave jsonpb a go and finally got it unmarshalling as desired.
To do so though I had to unmarshal and marshal the response with the regular json library first, in order to get around some escaped values in the response (I was receiving a 'bad value in Struct' error: resJson, err := ioutil.ReadAll(res.Body) j := make(map[string]interface{}) jbytes, err := json.Marshal(j) result := &pb.Response{} r := strings.NewReader(string(jbytes)) if err := jsonpb.Unmarshal(r, result); err != nil { panic(err) } Is this fine to do, or is it super inefficient and will cause problems?
