RecursiveMapConverter

Description

The RecursiveMapConverter class allows you to convert arbitrary values into map objects using extended conversion rules.

Important points

• This class is similar to MapConverter. The difference is that it recursively converts all values stored in objects and arrays.

Instance methods

ToMap

Converts value into a map object or returns an empty map when the conversion is not possible

public static IDictionary<string, object> ToMap(object value)

• value: object - value to convert.
• returns: IDictionary<string, object> - map object or empty map when the conversion is not supported.

ToMapWithDefault

Converts value into a map object or returns a given default value when the conversion is not possible

public static IDictionary<string, object> ToMapWithDefault(object value, IDictionary<string, object> defaultValue)

• value: object - value to convert.
• defaultValue: IDictionary<string, object> - default value.
• returns: IDictionary<string, object> - map object or empty map when the conversion is not supported.

ToNullableMap

Converts value into map object or returns null when the conversion is not possible.

public static IDictionary<string, object> ToNullableMap(object value)

• value: object - value to convert.
• returns: IDictionary<string, object> - map object or null when the conversion is not supported.

Examples

var value1 = RecursiveMapConverted.ToNullableMap("ABC"); // Result: null
var value2 = RecursiveMapConverted.ToNullableMap({ key: 123 }); // Result: { key: 123 }
var result = new List<Object>();
result.Add(1); 
result.Add(new int[]{2, 3});
var value3 = RecursiveMapConverted.ToNullableMap(result); // Result: { "0": 1, { "0": 2, "1": 3 } }
