I think I'd want to try to decode into map[string]interface{} (offhand), since string keys can be coerced to that in any event (they're strings in the stream, q

  That of course works, but the problem is then using this. Take a simple JSON like `{"list": [{"field": 8}]}`. To retrieve that value of 8, your Go code will look sort of like this: var v map[string]any json.Unmarshal(myjson, &v) lst := v["list"].([]any) firstItem := lst[0].(map[string]any) field := firstItem["field"].(float64) And this is without any error checking (this code will panic if myjson isn't a json byte array, if the keys and types don't match, or if the list is empty). If you want to add error checking to avoid panics, it gets much longer [0]. Here is the equivalent Python with full error checking: try : v = json.loads(myjson) field = v["list"][0]["list"] except Exception as e: print(f"Failed parsing json: {e}") [0] https://go.dev/play/p/xkspENB80JZ https://go.dev/play/p/xkspENB80JZ
