Cast (static class)

Allows you to convert data between types using default values if there is an exception trying to convert the type.

You can extend this static class with more extension methods to convert between any types.

Example usage:

var exampleData = "7";
Cast.This(exampleData).AsInt(10); // 10 as default value in case the conversion fails

Currently these are the built-in extension methods available:

// Cast.This(string)
bool AsBool(bool defaultValue = default(bool));
byte AsByte(byte defaultValue = default(byte));
sbyte AsSByte(sbyte defaultValue = default(sbyte));
char AsChar(char defaultValue = default(char));
float AsSingle(float defaultValue = default(float));
float AsFloat(float defaultValue = default(float));
double AsDouble(double defaultValue = default(double));
double AsFloat64(double defaultValue = default(double));
decimal AsDecimal(decimal defaultValue = default(decimal));
decimal AsFloat128(decimal defaultValue = default(decimal));
short AsShort(short defaultValue = default(short));
short AsInt16(short defaultValue = default(short));
int AsInt(int defaultValue = default(int));
int AsInt32(int defaultValue = default(int));
long AsLong(long defaultValue = default(long));
long AsInt64(long defaultValue = default(long));
ushort AsUShort(ushort defaultValue = default(ushort));
ushort AsUInt16(ushort defaultValue = default(ushort));
uint AsUInt(uint defaultValue = default(uint));
uint AsUInt32(uint defaultValue = default(uint));
ulong AsULong(ulong defaultValue = default(ulong));
ulong AsUInt64(ulong defaultValue = default(ulong));
T AsEnum<T>(T defaultValue = default(T)) where T : struct, Enum;
DateTime AsDateTimeFromUnixTimeStamp(DateTime defaultValue = default(DateTime));
Guid AsGuid(Guid defaultValue = default(Guid));
Color AsColor(Color defaultValue = default(Color));
Color32 AsColor32(Color32 defaultValue = default(Color32));

// Cast.This(Enum)
string AsString<T>() where T : Enum;
string AsStringLowercase<T>() where T : Enum;

// Cast.This(DateTime)
string AsString(string format = "yyyyMMdd_HHmmss");
double AsUnixTimeStamp();
string AsUnixTimeStampString();

// Cast.This(bool)
string AsString();
string AsStringLowercase();

// Cast.This(byte)
string AsString();

// Cast.This(sbyte)
string AsString();

// Cast.This(float)
string AsString();

// Cast.This(double)
string AsString();
DateTime AsDateTimeFromUnixTimeStamp();

// Cast.This(decimal)
string AsString();

// Cast.This(short)
string AsString();

// Cast.This(int)
string AsString();
string AsTimeStringFromSeconds();
string AsTimeStringFromSecondsShort();
DateTime AsDateTimeFromUnixTimeStamp();

// Cast.This(long)
string AsString();
string AsTimeStringFromSeconds();
string AsTimeStringFromSecondsShort();
DateTime AsDateTimeFromUnixTimeStamp();

// Cast.This(ushort)
string AsString();

// Cast.This(uint)
string AsString();

// Cast.This(ulong)
string AsString();

// Cast.This(char)
string AsString();

// Cast.This(Guid)
string AsString();

// Cast.This(Color)
string AsString(bool prependHashChar = true, bool toUpper = true);

// Cast.This(Color32)
string AsString(bool prependHashChar = true, bool toUpper = true);

// Cast.This(T) where T : struct, IComparable, IComparable<T>, IConvertible, IEquatable<T>, IFormattable
string AsFormattedBytesString(bool round = false);

DataTypeConverter (static class)

Allows you to convert data between types if there is an available converter method registered.

Used internally by the Data classes to serialize custom data to Hjson/Json (ToHjson & ToJson extension methods) and when using the SetRawData method (in case the set data type is different to the JData type).

Note: If the type can't be converted/serialized/deserialized the conversion will throw an Exception.

void AddConverter(ConversionType type, Func<object, object> converter);
bool HasConverter(ConversionType type);
Func<object, object> GetConverter(ConversionType type);
void RemoveConverter(ConversionType type);

This is the list of the available built-int converters, you can add or replace any converter as you need.
