Hi, I get an error when I try and decode a document containing null values to a struct containing a string pointer. type Data struct { CityName *string `json:"city_name,omitempty" bson:"city_name"` }
Error: cannot decode null into a string type
Of course I would avoid null, but the data coming out of Mongo is generated by another team in the company, and they have too many documents to change it. |
