# DataDictionary
A dictionary wrapper that converts all complex values to Dictionary or IEnumerable> objects.
Furthermore object in will always be one of the following:
- a simple type (```string```, ```boolean```, ```int```, ```DateTime```, etc...)
- an array of type
- DataDictionary
- simple type
- DataDictionary
## Example
### Anonymous Object example
```csharp
var source = new {
Date = DateTime.Now,
Target = new {
Name = "PrepublishScript",
BeforeTargets = "PrepareForPublish"
},
Exec = new[] {
new { Command = "npm install" },
new { Command = "bower install" },
new { Command = @"node node_modules\gulp\bin\gulp.js" }
}
};
dd = DataDictionary.From(source);
```
Generates:
### Class example
```csharp
class Person
{
public string Name { get; set; }
public int Age { get; set; }
public IEnumerable Children { get; set; }
}
void Main()
{
var person = new Person()
{
Name = "Charlotte",
Age = 34,
Children = new [] {
new Person { Name = "Jane" , Age = 5 }
}
};
var dd = DataDictionary.From(person);
}
```
Generates:
### JSON parsing
```csharp
string json = @"{
'title': 'Person',
'type': 'object',
'properties': {
'firstName': {
'type': 'string'
},
'lastName': {
'type': 'string'
},
'age': {
'description': 'Age in years',
'type': 'integer',
'minimum': 0,
'foo': null
}
},
'required': ['firstName', 'lastName'],
'people': [ ]
}";
var dd = DataDictionary.ParseJson(json);
```
### Helper methods
```csharp
var dd = DataDictionary.ParseJson(json);
dd.Flatten();
```
```csharp
dynamic d = dd.ToExpandoObject();
d.properties.age.type;
// integer
```
