How to convert a Kotlin data class object to map?

Question

Is there any easy way or any standard library method to convert a Kotlin data class object to a map/dictionary of it\'s properties by property names? Can reflection be avoid

Answer 1

The closest you can get is with delegated properties stored in a map.

Example (from link):

class User(val map: Map) {
    val name: String by map
    val age: Int     by map
}

Using this with data classes may not work very well, however.
