interface

Interfaces in Go provide a way to specify the behavior of an object. These abstractions are satisfied implicitly and do not need a keyword like implements to use.

type Reader interface {
 Read() []byte
}

func (io *JsonReader) Read() []byte {
 // ...
}

When to use

While not an exhaustive list, these are some of the most common cases for making use of interfaces.

Common behavior

Defining common behavior that multiple types of objects need to define. A good example of this would be sorting.
