Hands-On System Programming with Go

Value to interface

In the same way that we can get reflect.Value from any interface{} value,  we can execute the reverse operation and obtain interface{}from reflect.Value. This is done using the Interface method of the reflected value, and be cast to a concrete type if necessary. If the interested method or function accepts an empty interface, such as json.Marshal or fmt.Println, the returned value can be passed directly without any casting:

func main() {    var a interface{} = int(12)    v := reflect.ValueOf(a)    fmt.Println(v.String())    fmt.Printf("%v", v.Interface())}
