Unmarshall into an interface type

Viewed 124

I expected below code to print an object of type struct J, however it prints a map object of type map[string]interface{}. I can feel why it acts like that, however when I run, reflect.ValueOf(i).Kind(), it returns Struct, so it kinda gives me the impression that Unmarshal method should return type J instead of a map. Could anyone enlighten me ?

type J struct {
    Text string
}

func main() {
    j := J{}
    var i interface{} = j

    js := "{\"Text\": \"lala\"}"


    json.Unmarshal([]byte(js), &i)

    fmt.Printf("%#v", i)

}
