Convert Value type to Map in Golang?

Question

I\'m getting this return value from a function call in the \"reflect\" package:

< map[string]string Value >.

Wondering if I can access the ac

Answer 1

Most reflect Value objects can be converted back to a interface{} value using the .Interface() method.

After obtaining this value, you can assert it back to the map you want. Example (play):

m := map[string]int{"foo": 1, "bar": 3}
v := reflect.ValueOf(m)
i := v.Interface()
a := i.(map[string]int)

println(a["foo"]) // 1

In the example above, m is your original map and v is the reflected value. The interface value i, acquired by the Interface method is asserted to be of type map[string]int and this value is used as such in the last line.
