• string: A string of text
• bool: a or false
• float64: a 64-bit floating point value (there are also 8, 16, and 32 bit varieties of this)
• a byte slice (), often used to hold (potentially) binary data
• a slice (indexed list) of one of the previous types
• a string-keyed map (map[string]interface{}) where the value is one of the previous types
