Golang : Is conversion between different struct types possible?

Question

Let\'s say I have two similar types set this way :

type type1 []struct {
    Field1 string
    Field2 int
}
type type2 []struct {
    Field1 string
    Field         


        

Answer 1

Nicolas, in your later comment you said you were using field tags on the struct; these count as part of definition, so t1 and t2 as defined below are different and you cannot cast t2(t1):

type t1 struct {
    Field1 string
}

type t2 struct {
    Field1 string `json:"field_1"`
}

UPDATE: This is no longer true as of Go 1.8
