如何将带有嵌套对象的复杂json字符串转换为golang中的映射？

I have a complex string in json format which i want to convert to a map in golang. Let's say the string is

      species :{
               "type" : "human"
               "age" : "23"
               "attributes" : {
                              "height" : "182"
                              "weight" : "160"
                              "contact" : {
                                          "address" : ########
                                          "phone" : #########
                              }
               }
      }

how do i parse it such that map[attributes] is a again a map[string]interface and so on ?

You can use a map[string]interface{}, for example:

species := make(map[string]interface{})
if err := json.Unmarshal([]byte(jsonStr), &species); err != nil {
   // deal with error
}
