Add metadata to a struct

Add metadata to a struct and serialize to a json. It is changing the keyname and convert a string (“20”) to a number.

testStruct = structNew("ordered");
testStruct.testdata = "example";
testStruct.testdata2 = "20";
metadata = {
    testdata: {type: "string", name: "td1" },
    testdata2: {type: "numeric", name: "td2" }
};
StructSetMetadata(testStruct,metadata);
writeoutput(SerializeJSON(testStruct));

Expected Result: {“td1”:”example”, “td2”:20.0}

Add metadata to a struct as a member function

Add metadata to a struct and serialize to a json. It is changing the keyname and convert a string (“20”) to a number.

testStruct = structNew("ordered");
testStruct.testdata = "example";
testStruct.testdata2 = "20";
metadata = {
    testdata: {type: "string", name: "td1" },
    testdata2: {type: "numeric", name: "td2" }
};
testStruct.setMetadata(metadata);
writeoutput(SerializeJSON(testStruct));

Expected Result: {“td1”:”example”, “td2”:20.0}
