Deep copy Map in Groovy

Question

How can I deep copy a map of maps in Groovy? The map keys are Strings or Ints. The values are Strings, Primitive Objects or other maps, in a recursive way.

Answer 1

For Json (LazyMap) this wokred for me

copyOfMap = new HashMap<>()
originalMap.each { k, v -> copyOfMap.put(k, v) }
copyOfMap = new JsonSlurper().parseText(JsonOutput.toJson(copyOfMap))

EDIT: Simplification by: Ed Randall

copyOfMap = new JsonSlurper().parseText(JsonOutput.toJson(originalMap))
