  client := jsonclient.New(opts)

  var data = map[string]interface{}{
    "some": "json format",
    "foo":  "bar",
    "that": float64(3),
  }
  req, err := client.NewRequest(http.MethodPost, "my-resource", data)
  if err != nil {
    panic("Error creating request")
  }

  type Response struct {
    my string
  }
  v := Response{}
  // server response is: {"my": "data"}
  response, err := client.Do(req, &v)
  if err != nil {
    panic("Error making request")
  }

  if Response.my != "data" {
