Golang/gin parse JSON from gin.Context

I learned from the gin doc that you can bind json to a struct like

type Login struct {
    User     string `form:"user" json:"user" binding:"required"`
    Password string `form:"password" json:"password" binding:"required"`
}

func main() {
    router := gin.Default()

    // Example for binding JSON ({"user": "manu", "password": "123"})
    router.POST("/loginJSON", func(c *gin.Context) {
        var json Login
        if c.BindJSON(&json) == nil {
            if json.User == "manu" && json.Password == "123" {
                c.JSON(http.StatusOK, gin.H{"status": "you are logged in"})
            } else {
                c.JSON(http.StatusUnauthorized, gin.H{"status": "unauthorized"})
            }
        }
    })
}

You always have to build a struct to bind JSON.

But if there is a very complex JSON data, I only what to get part of it, to create a complex struct is a big burden. Can avoid id and parse it directly?
