Not the parent, but my biggest issue with arrays and nested objects is this: Most JSON arrays come in the form { "objects": [{"foo": "bar"}, ...] } Instead of `[{"foo": "bar"}, ...]`. So I need to create a temporary struct, it would've been nice to be able to provide a starting point or similar. Like `json.UnmarshalFrom(data, &foos, "objects")` (hmm, this gave me an idea!). Another example is this: type Address struct { street string city string } And I want to parse that populate that struct with the data from { "name": "John Doe", "address": { "street": "Some street 1", "city": "Footown" }, ... } Again I have to use temporary struct.
