This sample script is for parsing JSON object. In the object, the keys are number and changing every time.

Object:

{
    "key1": {
        "key2": [
            {"0": [{"key3": "value3a"}, {"key3": "value3b"}]},
            {"1": [{"key3": "value3c"}, {"key3": "value3d"}]}
        ]
    }
}

Script:

package main

import (
    "encoding/json"
    "fmt"
    "strconv"
)

type key1 struct {
    Key1 key2 `json:"key1"`
}

type key2 struct {
    Key2 []interface{} `json:"key2"`
}

func main() {
    data := `{"key1": {"key2": [{"0": [{"key3": "value3a"}, {"key3": "value3b"}]},{"1": [{"key3": "value3c"}, {"key3": "value3d"}]}]}}`
    k1 := &key1{}
    json.Unmarshal([]byte(data), &k1)
    for i, e := range k1.Key1.Key2 {
        if key, ok := e.(map[string]interface{})[strconv.Itoa(i)].([]interface{}); ok {
            for _, f := range key {
                fmt.Printf("%+v\n", f.(map[string]interface{})["key3"])
            }
        }
    }
}

Result:

value3a
value3b
value3c
value3d
