Thanks for the hint. would you elaborate a bit more please as I'm still unsure how to do it. and the closes hits that I found are
- https://stackoverflow.com/questions/71739971/unmarshalling-a-bson-d-object-golang - https://www.mongodb.com/docs/drivers/go/current/fundamentals/bson/ But neither covers how to unmarshal bson.M types. I got either: cannot use r (variable of type interface{}) as []byte value in argument to bson.Unmarshal: need type assertion Or with: r := val["author"].(primitive.A)[0] var a1 author bson.Unmarshal(r.([]byte), &a1) a = append(a, a1) I'm getting: panic: interface conversion: interface {} is primitive.M, not []uint8 On Thursday, November 16, 2023 at 12:20:13 PM UTC-5 burak serdar wrote: val["author"].(primitive.A)[0] is correct, but the type of that expression is not author, it is bson.M. You might consider using a tagged struct to unmarshal this.
