I didn't have the same problem but similar. Below code solves your problem too, of course if you don't mind performance issue. Before implement that kind of solution to your system I recommend you to redesign your structure if you can. Sending variable structure response is over-engineering. I believe a response structure represents a contract between a request and resource and it should't be depend requests.(you can make un-wanted fields null, I do). In some cases we have to implement this design, if you believe you are in that cases here is the play link and code I use.

type User2 struct {
    ID       int    `groups:"id" json:"id,omitempty"`
    Username string `groups:"username" json:"username,omitempty"`
    Nickname string `groups:"nickname" json:"nickname,omitempty"`
}

type User struct {
    ID       int    `groups:"private,public" json:"id,omitempty"`
    Username string `groups:"private" json:"username,omitempty"`
    Nickname string `groups:"public" json:"nickname,omitempty"`
}

var (
    tagName = "groups"
)

//OmitFields sets fields nil by checking their tag group value and access control tags(acTags)
func OmitFields(obj interface{}, acTags []string) {
    //nilV := reflect.Value{}
    sv := reflect.ValueOf(obj).Elem()
    st := sv.Type()
    if sv.Kind() == reflect.Struct {
        for i := 0; i < st.NumField(); i++ {
            fieldVal := sv.Field(i)
            if fieldVal.CanSet() {
                tagStr := st.Field(i).Tag.Get(tagName)
                if len(tagStr) == 0 {
                    continue
                }
                tagList := strings.Split(strings.Replace(tagStr, " ", "", -1), ",")
                //fmt.Println(tagList)
                // ContainsCommonItem checks whether there is at least one common item in arrays
                if !ContainsCommonItem(tagList, acTags) {
                    fieldVal.Set(reflect.Zero(fieldVal.Type()))
                }
            }
        }
    }
}

//ContainsCommonItem checks if arrays have at least one equal item
func ContainsCommonItem(arr1 []string, arr2 []string) bool {
    for i := 0; i < len(arr1); i++ {
        for j := 0; j < len(arr2); j++ {
            if arr1[i] == arr2[j] {
                return true
            }
        }
    }
    return false
}
func main() {
    u := User{ID: 1, Username: "very secret", Nickname: "hinzir"}
    //assume authenticated user doesn't has permission to access private fields
    OmitFields(&u, []string{"public"}) 
    bytes, _ := json.Marshal(&u)
    fmt.Println(string(bytes))


    u2 := User2{ID: 1, Username: "very secret", Nickname: "hinzir"}
    //you want to filter fields by field names
    OmitFields(&u2, []string{"id", "nickname"}) 
    bytes, _ = json.Marshal(&u2)
    fmt.Println(string(bytes))

}

我也面临着这个问题，起初我只是想在我的http处理程序中专门化响应。我的第一种方法是创建一个包，将一个结构体的信息复制到另一个结构体，然后封送第二个结构体。我用反射来做那个包，我不喜欢那种方法，我也不是动态的。

所以我决定修改encoding/json包来做到这一点。函数Marshal, MarshalIndent和(Encoder) Encode额外接收一个

type F map[string

我想模拟需要封送的字段的JSON，因此它只封送映射中的字段。

            log.Fatal(err)
        }
    })

    http.ListenAndServe(":3009", nil)
}

下面是我如何定义我的结构。

type User struct {
    Username string  `json:"username" bson:"username"`
    Email    string  `json:"email" bson:"email"`
    Password *string `json:"password,omitempty" bson:"password"`
    FullName string  `json:"fullname" bson:"fullname"`
}

在函数集user里面。Password = nil表示不被封送。

这个问题现在有点老了，但我不久前遇到了同样的问题，因为我发现没有简单的方法来做到这一点，所以我建立了一个库来实现这个目的。 它允许从静态结构体轻松生成map[string]接口{}。

为了扩展chhaileng的答案，这里有一个版本，删除所有出现的字段与递归

// GetJSONWithOutFields - Description: return a string representation of an interface with specified fields removed
func GetJSONWithOutFields(obj interface{}, ignoreFields ...string) (string, error) {
    toJson, err := json.Marshal(obj)
    if err != nil {
        return "", err
    }

    if len(ignoreFields) == 0 {
        return string(toJson), nil
    }

    toMap := map[string]interface{}{}
    err = json.Unmarshal(toJson, &toMap)
    if err != nil {
        return "", err
    }

    for _, field := range ignoreFields {
        DeleteField(toMap, field)
    }

    toJson, err = json.Marshal(toMap)
    if err != nil {
        return "", err
    }
    return string(toJson), nil
}

// DeleteField - Description: recursively delete field
func DeleteField(toMap map[string]interface{}, field string) {
    delete(toMap, field)
    for _, v := range toMap {
        if m, isMap := v.(map[string]interface{}); isMap {
            DeleteField(m, field)
        }
    }
}
