How to cast reflect.Value to its type?

type Cat struct { 
    Age int
}

cat := reflect.ValueOf(obj)
fmt.Println(cat.Type()) // Cat

fmt.Println(Cat(cat).Age) //         


        

Answer 1

concreteCat,_ := reflect.ValueOf(cat).Interface().(Cat)

see http://golang.org/doc/articles/laws_of_reflection.html fox example

type MyInt int
var x MyInt = 7
v := reflect.ValueOf(x)
y := v.Interface().(float64) // y will have type float64.
fmt.Println(y)
