Golang JSON Marshal a Struct With Pointers

package main

import (
 "encoding/json"
 "fmt"
)

type Num struct {
 N int
}

type Packed struct {
 pNum *Num
 Name string
}

func main() {
 num := &Num{N: 100}

 packed := Packed{pNum: num, Name: "xx-packed-xy"}

 dataInBytes, err := json.Marshal(packed)
 fmt.Printf("%+v data=%s\n", err, string(dataInBytes))

 unpacked := &Packed{}
 err = json.Unmarshal(dataInBytes, unpacked)
 fmt.Printf("%v, %+v\n", err, unpacked)
}

The above code marshals an object of type struct using a pointer. The code does not work as expected. That means the unmarshalled object does…
