This commit fixes pointers to type aliases which are currently not supported. The new test cases will fail with: jsonapi: Can't unmarshal foo (string) to struct field `String`, which is a pointer to `StringType (string)` One other method to fix this when you are able to modify your types is: type StringType = string This is the new (since Go 1.9) way to declare type aliasses which treats the types differently when using reflect.
