-Utilities for Go structs
+Structure contains various utilitis to work with Go structs.

+## Install
+
+```bash
+go get github.com/fatih/structure
+```
+
+## Examples
+
+```go
+type Server struct {
+	Name    string
+	ID      int32
+	Enabled bool
+}
+
+s := &Server{
+	Name:    "Arslan",
+	ID:      123456,
+	Enabled: true,
+}
+
+m, err := ToMap(s)
+if err != nil {
+	panic(err)
+}
+
+fmt.Printf("%#v", m)
+// Output: map[string]interface {}{"Name":"Arslan", "ID":123456, "Enabled":true}
