How To Install golang-github-mitchellh-mapstructure-dev on Kali Linux
Introduction
In this tutorial we learn how to install golang-github-mitchellh-mapstructure-dev on Kali Linux.
What is golang-github-mitchellh-mapstructure-dev
golang-github-mitchellh-mapstructure-dev is:
mapstructure is a Go library for decoding generic map values to structures and vice versa, while providing helpful error handling.
This library is most useful when decoding values from some data stream (JSON, Gob, etc.) where you don’t quite know the structure of the underlying data until you read a part of it. You can therefore read a map[string]interface{} and use this library to decode it into the proper underlying native Go structure.
Go offers fantastic standard libraries for decoding formats such as JSON. The standard method is to have a struct pre-created, and populate that struct from the bytes of the encoded format. This is great, but the problem is if you have configuration or an encoding that changes slightly depending on specific fields.
Perhaps we can’t populate a specific structure without first reading the “type” field from the JSON. We could always do two passes over the decoding of the JSON (reading the “type” first, and the rest later). However, it is much simpler to just decode this into a map[string]interface{} structure, read the “type” key, then use something like this library to decode it into the proper structure.
There are three methods to install golang-github-mitchellh-mapstructure-dev on Kali Linux. We can use apt-get, apt and aptitude. In the following sections we will describe each method. You can choose one of them.
