Go で JSON オブジェクトを部分的にデコードして更新する方法

package main

import (
    "encoding/json"
    "log"
)

type Color struct {
    Space string
    raw   map[string]json.RawMessage
}

func (c *Color) UnmarshalJSON(bytes []byte) error {
    if err := json.Unmarshal(bytes, &c.raw); err != nil {
        return err
    }
    if space, ok := c.raw["Space"]; ok {
        if err := json.Unmarshal(space, &c.Space); err != nil {
            return err
        }
    }
    return nil
}

func (c *Color) MarshalJSON() ([]byte, error) {
    bytes, err := json.Marshal(c.Space)
    if err != nil {
        return nil, err
    }
    c.raw["Space"] = json.RawMessage(bytes)
    return json.Marshal(c.raw)
}

func main() {
    before := []byte(`{"Space": "YCbCr", "Point": {"Y": 255, "Cb": 0, "Cr": -10}}`)
    log.Println("before: ", string(before))

    // decode
    color := new(Color)
    err := json.Unmarshal(before, color)
    if err != nil {
        log.Fatal(err)
    }

    // modify fields of interest
    color.Space = "RGB"

    // encode
    after, err := json.Marshal(color)
    if err != nil {
        log.Fatal(err)
    }
    log.Println("after:  ", string(after))
}

before:  {"Space": "YCbCr", "Point": {"Y": 255, "Cb": 0, "Cr": -10}}
after:   {"Point":{"Y":255,"Cb":0,"Cr":-10},"Space":"RGB"}
