as<E> method
Allow transformation back to popular data types For using these methods, We're assuming it is safe to transform to String
Implementation
E as<E>(){
assert(_isStream != null && !_isStream);
if( E == String )
return asString() as E;
else if( E.toString() == Map<String, dynamic>().runtimeType.toString() )
return asMap() as E;
else if( E.toString() == List<dynamic>().runtimeType.toString() )
return asList() as E;
else if( E == int )
return asInt() as E;
else if( E == double )
return asDouble() as E;
else if( E == num )
return asNumber() as E;
else if( E == bool )
return asBool() as E;
throw new Exception("Unsupported return type. Deserialize to one of the supported formats");
