How to dynamically assign objects to a string key in slices in Go?

I am trying to create an array from already created array. Array that I have is

{
  "id": 1,
  "category": "fruits",
  "name": "Apple",
  "description": "Apple is my favorite fruit."
}

{
  "id": 2,
  "category": "colors",
  "name": "Red",
  "description": "Red color is always charming."
}

{
  "id": 3,
  "category": "flowers",
  "name": "Lotus",
  "description": "It is one of the most beautiful flowers in this world."
}

{
  "id": 4,
  "category": "colors",
  "name": "Pink",
  "description": "A romantic color, mostly liked by women."
}
{
  "id": 5,
  "category": "flowers",
  "name": "Rose",
  "description": "I love roses."
}

{
  "id": 6,
  "category": "fruits",
  "name": "Mango",
  "description": "Mango is one of my favorite fruits."
}

Now I need to create an array and populate data like:

"elements":{
   "fruits":{
      0:{
         "id": 1,
         "category": "fruits",
         "name": "Apple",
         "description": "Apple is my favorite fruit."
       }
     1:{
        "id": 6,
        "category": "fruits",
        "name": "Mango",
        "description": "Mango is one of my favorite fruits."
       }
     }
    "flowers":{
        0:{
            "id": 3,
            "category": "flowers",
            "name": "Lotus",
            "description": "It is one of the most beautiful flowers in this world."
         }
        1:{
          "id": 5,
          "category": "flowers",
          "name": "Rose",
          "description": "I love roses."
        }
      }
    "colors":{
       0:{
          "id": 2,
          "category": "colors",
          "name": "Red",
          "description": "Red color is always charming."
        }
      1:{
        "id": 4,
        "category": "colors",
        "name": "Pink",
        "description": "A romantic color, mostly liked by women."
       } 
    }
}

What I have tried is:

    arr 			:= make(map[string]interface{})
	arrCate 		:= make(map[string]interface{})
	arrCateFlower 	:= make(map[int]interface{})
	arrCateColor    := make(map[int]interface{})
	arrCateFruit 	:= make(map[int]interface{})
	
    for index, data := range dataVals{
		if(data.Category == "flower"){
			arrCateFlower[index] = data
		}
		if(data.Category == "colors"){
			arrCateColor[index] = data	
		}
		if(data.Category == "fruits"){
			arrCateFruit[index] = data	
		}
	}
	arrCate["flowers"] = arrCateFlower
	arrCate["colors"] = arrCateColor
	arrCate["fruits"] = arrCateFruit
	arr["elements"] = arrCate

Where dataVals contain the unformatted data given at the top. By applying the above code I am able to get the proper output. But I don't think it is efficient way. If I try something like

    arr 			:= make(map[string]interface{})
	arrCate 		:= make(map[string]interface{})
	
    for _, data := range dataVals{
      arrCate[data.Category] = data    
	}
	arr["elements"] = arrCate

Then I get something like:

"elements":{
   "fruits":{
              "id": 6,
              "category": "fruits",
              "name": "Mango",
              "description": "Mango is one of my favorite fruits."
            }
    "flowers":{
               "id": 5,
               "category": "flowers",
               "name": "Rose",
               "description": "I love roses."
              }
    "colors":{
               "id": 4,
               "category": "colors",
               "name": "Pink",
               "description": "A romantic color, mostly liked by women." 
             }
}

the last elements of that particular category in the loop. I don't understand how can I get all the elements in the array without using any static values in code.

I have already spent hours in this. Can anyone please tell what am i missing in it?

I hope you can live with the additional outer {} pair.

And without the outer {} pair: https://play.golang.org/p/SSTgln0qJc

To not just have a bunch of links and to enable easy criticism of my solution by others, I include the code here, slightly redacted:

package main
import (
"fmt"
"encoding/json"
"log"
"strings"
)
var dataAsString = `` //put data between the ``
type Item struct {
Id          int    `json:"id"`
Category    string `json:"category"`
Name        string `json:"name"`
Description string `json:"description"`
}
type CategoryToItemSliceMap map[string][]Item
type CategoryToIndexItemMap map[string]map[int]Item
func main() {
// first read the data, we use a decoder as the input was given
// as a stream of seperate json objects and not a big single one.
decoder := json.NewDecoder(strings.NewReader(dataAsString))
var ourData []Item
for decoder.More() {
var it Item
err := decoder.Decode(&it)
if err != nil {
log.Fatalln(err)
}
ourData = append(ourData, it)
}
// collect items according to categories
catToItemSlice := CategoryToItemSliceMap{}
for _,v := range ourData {
catToItemSlice[v.Category] = append(catToItemSlice[v.Category],v)
}
// turn those slices into int -> Item maps so we get the index numbers
// in the encoded json
catToIndexItemMap := CategoryToIndexItemMap{}
for k,v := range catToItemSlice {
if catToIndexItemMap[k] == nil {
catToIndexItemMap[k] = map[int]Item{}
}
for index, item := range v {
catToIndexItemMap[k][index] = item
}
}
// easiest way to get the "elements: " without an additional outer {} 
// brace pair
fmt.Printf("elements: ")
// We only have one json object in the output and that is a map, so we
// can use Unmarshal and don't need a streaming encoder. And get nice
// indentation with MarshalIndent.
out, err := json.MarshalIndent(catToIndexItemMap, "", "    ")
if err != nil {
log.Fatalln(err)
}
fmt.Println(string(out))
}

// If atributes names equals , set value to fields
// target receive values of object
func Assign(target interface{}, object interface{}) {
t := reflect.ValueOf(target).Elem()
o := reflect.ValueOf(object).Elem()
for i := 0; i < o.NumField(); i++ {
for j := 0; j < t.NumField(); j++ {
if o.Type().Field(i).Name == t.Type().Field(j).Name {
t.Field(j).Set(o.Field(i))
}
}
}
}
// Use this exemple objects interfaces diffrents but fields are equals
// Assign(&target, &object)
