encoding/json: Struct behind interface embedding behaves differently to struct-only embedding #7230

Embedded interfaces and embedded structs are just different. Here is a version of your program demonstrating the difference. If we "flatten", then how do we know how to unmarshal? http://play.golang.org/p/orp7cvQplU Status changed to WorkingAsIntended. |

Marshaling flattens embedded struct fields just fine but fails with struct fields abstracted by interface types. In essence: struct{ someStruct }{someStruct{}} // properly flattened type Any interface{} struct{ Any }{someStruct{}} // not flattened: "Any":{ ... } See http://play.golang.org/p/-ZtaIGe7QJ for an example. I think if the underlying type of the embedded interface is a struct the output should be flattened. go version devel +9c65fe4ce5a2 Wed Jan 29 09:51:31 2014 +0900 linux/amd64The text was updated successfully, but these errors were encountered:
