Introduction In this blog post, we will discuss an interesting case in Golang where using a custom UnmarshalJSON method on a struct with both inner and outer fields results in only the inner fields being unmarshaled. We will look into why this occurs and suggest two alternative solutions to
"The happiness of your life depends upon the quality of your thoughts." - Marcus Aurelius My first memories of childhood are grey, not in the cool, noir style of 1920s movies, but in the bleak, post-communist greyness of 1990s Romania. I was surrounded by people who had hoped for freedom for so
