declaring generic type object in go

Question

Is there a generic type Object<\/code> in golang similar to other languages that can be assigned any kind of payload?

type Foo struct {
    data object
}

Answer 1

All Go types implement the empty interface interface{} .

type Foo struct {
   data interface{}
}

The empty interface is covered in A Tour of Go , The Laws of Reflection and the specification .

Answer 2

Starting in Go 1.18 you can use any<\/code> — alias of interface{}<\/code> as type of field or variable. It looks better than interface{}<\/code> .

type Foo struct {
   data any
}
