Dynamic Data Types

This tutorial explains how to use the three dynamic data types available in Pip.Services. They are AnyValue, AnyValueArray and AnyValueMap, which define dynamic types for single values (variables), arrays, and maps respectively. These types can hold any type of data, which can then be converted to several well-known formats such as integer, float, and more.

This package contains a set of classes and methods that can be used to generate different types of random values, such as Booleans, doubles, floats, and integers.
