Viper also supports unmarshaling into embedded structs:
```go
/*
Example config:
module:
enabled: true
token: 89h3f98hbwf987h3f98wenf89ehf
*/
type config struct {
Module struct {
Enabled bool
moduleConfig `mapstructure:",squash"`
}
}
// moduleConfig could be in a module specific package
type moduleConfig struct {
Token string
}
var C config
err := viper.Unmarshal(&C)
if err != nil {
t.Fatalf("unable to decode into struct, %v", err)
}
```
Viper uses [github.com/mitchellh/mapstructure](https://github.com/mitchellh/mapstructure) under the hood for unmarshaling values which uses `mapstructure` tags by default.
