I am trying to copy a map to another map so i used gob in order to do this. But when i unmarshal a json to map[string]interface{} and then try to copy it to another map i get an error in the encoding part.
This is the code:
package main
import (
"encoding/gob"
"bytes"
"fmt"
"encoding/json"
)
func CopyMapToAnotherMap(req map[string]interface{}) (cpy map[string]interface{}, err error) {
var mod bytes.Buffer
gob.Register(map[string]interface{}{})
enc := gob.NewEncoder(&mod)
dec := gob.NewDecoder(&mod)
err = enc.Encode(req)
if err != nil {
fmt.Println("Unable to encode map", err)
return nil, err
}
err = dec.Decode(&cpy)
if err != nil {
fmt.Println("Unable to decode map", err)
return nil, err
}
return cpy, nil
}
func main() {
my := `{"data":[{"aa":1},{"bb":2}]}`
var m map[string]interface{}
err := json.Unmarshal([]byte(my), &m)
if err != nil {
fmt.Println(err)
}
CopyMapToAnotherMap(m)
}
and i am getting an error : gob: type not registered for interface: []interface {}
How can this be avoided?
