Noob Question, please help

Hi reddit,

I have recently started learning go. I work on nodejs and MongoDb. While working with MongoDb on go, I am stuck and need your help. My MongoDb collection has very unstructred data and cannot be mapped to a struct , I want to query collection and get the result. Mgo requires me to map my result to a struct and I cant do that. I looked at mgo documentation but got nothing. Stackoverflow search is also futile. Thanks in advance.

Can't be mapped to a struct? That's your issue, everything can be mapped to a struct. Try giving it an empty interface and see what it puts in.

Also, we need to see an example of the unstructured data, just remove anything private.

Hi dan, The collection has documents that  has irregularities in key names thus mapping them to struct is hard. Although i figured that slice of bson.M works with Find All query. Thx for reply. 

map[string]interface{} is an OK type, if it helps. It lets arbitrary strings go in as keys. Glad you worked it out, though.

map it to a bson.M

Hi bson.M only works with find One. Bson. D works with find all but returns nil. I want to query all. 

[]bson.M
