Features

• Reflection-Based Map Mapping - Uses Go reflection to inspect target structure types and dynamically map keys from generic maps to typed fields.
• Hash-to-Struct Hydrators - Directly populates the memory addresses of target structures from generic maps using Go reflection.
• Dynamic Data Mapping - Converts generic map values into typed Go structures when the input schema is not known beforehand.
• Generic Map Transformations - Converts typed Go structures back into generic maps for flexible data transmission or storage in non-typed systems.
• Struct Mapping - Transforms loosely typed map data into native Go structs and encodes structs back into maps.
• Map-to-Struct Decoders - Transforms generic map values into typed structures using reflection and conditional logic to ensure correct mapping.
• Struct-to-Map Encoders - Transforms typed structures into generic map formats to facilitate flexible data transmission and storage.
• Go Data Mapping Libraries - Provides a dedicated library for converting generic map values into typed Go structures and vice versa.
• Struct Tags - Uses struct tags to resolve custom destination names for map keys during the decoding process.
• Recursive Struct Traversal - Walks through nested maps and slices to decode complex hierarchical data into deeply nested Go structures.
• Reflection-Based Unmarshallers - Uses Go reflection to map generic data keys to specific struct fields during runtime.
• Configuration File Loading - Loads settings from flexible formats like JSON or YAML into strongly typed Go structs.
• Value Type Conversions - Employs custom hook functions to transform data types when the source map value differs from the target field.
• Type Coercion Utilities - Automatically converts between compatible types such as strings and integers to handle flexible input.
• Type-Safe Data Handling - Ensures data safety by validating and mapping untyped map entries into native Go types during decoding.
• Data Serialization - Decoding generic maps into native Go structures.
• Development Utilities - Decodes map values into Go structs.
