Today, I will show you how do I convert a json to map in golang, as above mentioned I’m going to use json.Unmarshal() method.

To use the json.Unmarshal() method, we have first import "encoding/json" package, then we have to create map variable which we will use to assign value.

Let’s start our Golang convert json to map example

main.go

package main
 
import (
    "encoding/json"
    "fmt"
)
 
func main() {
    jsonStr := `{"id": 1, "name": "aGuideHub"}`
    var x map[string]interface{}
 
    json.Unmarshal([]byte(jsonStr), &x)
    fmt.Println(x)
}

In the above example, we have converted the json value to a map and printed in golang console. let’s check the output.

Output

map[id:1 name:aGuideHub]

I hope it helps you, All the best 👍.
