public interface IPayloadConverter

Extension Methods

ConverterExtensions.ToPayloads(IPayloadConverter, IReadOnlyCollection<object?>)

ConverterExtensions.ToRawValue(IPayloadConverter, object?)

ConverterExtensions.ToValue<T>(IPayloadConverter, Payload)

ConverterExtensions.ToValue<T>(IPayloadConverter, IRawValue)

Remarks

This converter should be deterministic since it is used for workflows. For the same reason, this converter should be immediate and avoid any network calls or any asynchronous/slow code paths.

Payload ToPayload(object? value)

Parameters

value object
