//create a empty map
myMap := make(map[string]string)
//insert key-value pair in map
myMap["key"] = "value"
//read from map
value, ok := myMap["key"]
//delete from map
delete(myMap, "key")

var id string
var ok bool
if x, found := res["strID"]; found {
     if id, ok = x.(string); !ok {
        //do whatever you want to handle errors - this means this wasn't a string
     }
} else {
   //handle error - the map didn't contain this key
}
