Best way to code this, string to map conversion in Groovy

Question

I have a string like

def data = \"session=234567893egshdjchasd&userId=12345673456&timeOut=1800000\"

I want to convert it to a map

Answer 1

I don't know if this is more efficient, but to my eyes, it's a bit simpler (YMMV)

def data = "session=234567893egshdjchasd&userId=12345673456&timeOut=1800000"
def map = [:]

data.split("&").each {param ->
    def nameAndValue = param.split("=")
    map[nameAndValue[0]] = nameAndValue[1]
}
