Map | MAP

Syntax

MAP( [input] )

Parameters

input
Any data may be used as the input.

Return Value

The result of the input being converted to a map. The return value will always be an empty map set if the input is not an object.

Description

Where possible, any value passed into this method will return a map. All maps are eventually converted to objects before they are stored in the process data. This method is primarily useful only in cases where other methods may require a map as an argument. Generally, the usage of this method may be avoided as all methods should internally convert object arguments to maps where needed.

Examples

# input = { a: 1, b: 2 }
MAP(${input}) # returns [ 'a' => 1, 'b' => 2 ]

MAP(null) # returns an empty map

MAP(false) # returns an empty map

MAP("1.5") # returns an empty map
