Text based serialization formats like JSON and YAML are convenient, but when used with Go maps, most type information gets lost in translation. For structs, one can work around some of the limitations with custom MarshalJSON, UnmarshalJSON, MarshalText and UnmarshalText. For the commonly used flexible and schema-less "map[string]interface {}", this is, as the author is aware of, not an option. This library provides a solution to this problem. . See the GoDoc at https://godoc.org/github.com/bep/tmc for some basic examples and how to configure custom codec, adapters, etc.
