How to convert byte array to map[string,string] in golang

Question

I want to convert byte array to map[string,string] using golang. I tried this:

var byte := json.Marshal(input)
var map := make(map[string]string *byte) // NOT WORKING

if byte holds value like {\"hello\":\"world\",...} How to create the map from byte array

Please help.

Solution

You probably want to do something like

m := make(map[string]string)
err := json.Unmarshal(input, &m)

This creates a new map[string]string and unmarshals a byte array into it.
