Simple question: how do we decode response.Content.Parts (vertex ai golang SDK)

[talksik]

I can't seem to find basic information other than this reference on how to decode the data.

I see the response that I am getting as this:

{\n  \"Candidates\": [\n    {\n      \"Index\": 0,\n      \"Content\": {\n        \"Role\": \"model\",\n        \"Parts\": [\n          \"I am doing well, thank you for asking! As a large language model, I don't experience emotions like humans do, but I am functioning optimally and ready to assist you. How can I help you today?\\n\"\n        ]\n      },\n      \"FinishReason\": 1,\n      \"SafetyRatings\": null,\n      \"FinishMessage\": \"\",\n      \"CitationMetadata\": null\n    }\n  ],\n  \"PromptFeedback\": null,\n  \"UsageMetadata\": {\n    \"PromptTokenCount\": 5,\n    \"CandidatesTokenCount\": 45,\n    \"TotalTokenCount\": 50\n  }\n}

Why does the element in Content.Parts[0] have a string instead of an object? How can one decode this reliably? Why is there no documentation on this (or clear example for this)?

This makes me think the SDK is not idiomatic for golang.
