My question is about parsing JSON files in golang.
Specifically, I am trying to parse output of a command "docker network inspect bridge", which happens to be in JSON format. The command is described here. My goal is to get a list of "IPv4Address" for the listed containers.
I have tried to do this but failing to convert map[string]interface{} to map[string]string. My code is here:- https://play.golang.org/p/eO_j996gGb
$ sudo docker network inspect bridge
[
{
"Name": "bridge",
"Id": "b2b1a2cba717161d984383fd68218cf70bbbd17d328496885f7c921333228b0f",
"Scope": "local",
"Driver": "bridge",
"IPAM": {
"Driver": "default",
"Config": [
{
"Subnet": "172.17.42.1/16",
"Gateway": "172.17.42.1"
}
]
},
"Internal": false,
"Containers": {
"bda12f8922785d1f160be70736f26c1e331ab8aaf8ed8d56728508f2e2fd4727": {

"EndpointID": "0aebb8fcd2b282abe1365979536f21ee4ceaf3ed56177c628eae9f706e00e019",
"MacAddress": "02:42:ac:11:00:02",
"IPv4Address": "172.17.0.2/16",
"IPv6Address": ""
},
"f2870c98fd504370fb86e59f32cd0753b1ac9b69b7d80566ffc7192a82b3ed27": {

}
},

}
}
]
What is the correct way to parse such JSON files in golang. I did try using type conversion but doesn't help. I have tried many things but finally could only get as far as the code shown in the snippet. How can I extract the IPv4Address field from the "cont" object?
Link to go playground snippet I have is https://play.golang.org/p/eO_j996gGb. Any help is greatly appreciated (willing to try things out, don't need just the code but ideas :) Thanks.
