Anonymous structs

Anonymous structs in Go are struct literals defined without a preceding type declaration, allowing you to create a struct value directly at the point of use. You define them by listing the field names and values inside curly braces, optionally prefixed with struct{} to explicitly declare the type.

s := struct {
    Name string
    Age  int
}{Name: "Alice", Age: 30}

// Access fields directly
fmt.Println(s.Name)

This creates a variable s of an unnamed struct type containing the specified fields.

An anonymous struct is a temporary data container you define and use immediately without giving it a permanent name. It is like creating a custom form with specific fields just for one single submission, rather than designing a reusable form template for the whole company. You use this when you need a quick, one-off grouping of data that doesn't need to be referenced elsewhere in your code.
