在Go语言中JSON嵌套结构本身

Question

I have below JSON

[{
  "id": 8,
  "title": "Indonesia",
  "type": "country",
  "attributes": {
    "regionCode": "ID",
    "information": {
      "title": "Welcome to Indonesia",
      "content": "We only serve selected areas in Indonesia.",
      "image": "indo.png"
    }
  },
  "children": [
    {
      "id": 9,
      "title": "Jakarta",
      "type": "city",
      "attributes": {
        "regionCode": "ID-JKT",
        "information": {
          "title": "Welcome to Capital City of Indonesia",
          "content": "We only serve selected areas in Jabotabek",
          "image": "jakarta.png"
        }
      }       
    },
    {
      "id": 10,
      "title": "Bali",
      "type": "city",
      "attributes": {
        "regionCode": "ID-BAL",
        "information": {
          "title": "Welcome to the beach city Bali",
          "content": "We only serve selected areas in Bali.",
          "image": "bali.png"
        }   
      }       
    }
  ]
}]

Technically this is a nested structure to itself as the children node, and the children might have children as well. But i just couldnt get it right when im using unmarshal to decode this.

The working one is like below i have no problem defining the attribute as a separate struct so assuming i have locationAttribute struct

type locationNode []struct {
    ID         string             `json:"id"`
    Title      string             `json:"title"`
    Type       string             `json:"type"`
    Attributes locationAttribute `json:"attributes"`
    Children   []struct {
        ID         string             `json:"id"`
        Title      string             `json:"title"`
        Type       string             `json:"type"`
        Attributes locationAttribute `json:"attributes"`
        Children   []interface{}      `json:"children"`
    } `json:"children"`
}

However im expecting to be something like below

type locationNode []struct {
    ID         string             `json:"id"`
    Title      string             `json:"title"`
    Type       string             `json:"type"`
    Attributes locationAttribute `json:"attributes"`
    Children   []locationNode `json:"children"`
}

any help will be much appreciated

Okay I managed to resolve this - it's actually a silly careless mistake, since my struct is already an array I should NOT define the children as an array.

So below definition works

type locationNode []struct {
  ID         string             `json:"id"`
  Title      string             `json:"title"`
  Type       string             `json:"type"`
  Attributes locationAttribute  `json:"attributes"`
  Children   locationNode     `json:"children"`
}
