    There are also different packages used as a wrapper on top of the Go map based on what your requirements are (storing a lot of data) https://github.com/allegro/bigcache or (need performance) https://github.com/dgraph-io/ristretto. For basic use-cases, the standard Go map should be enough. Just keep in mind whether you need concurrent access to your data structure, in which case you should guard your map with a mutex .
