B4J Question ListOfArrays column name indexing case sensitive?

[William Lancee]

In B4X, case usage is a user choice for variable names.
It would be helpful if the column name indexing in LOA was also case-insensitive.

The first request related to a new important library is always granted.

Tested. Works great (after I updated B4J from the Beta 10.5 to final 10.5 -> to accommodate 'Sublist').
I particularly like the List of Maps feature and the integration with JSON.

I'll be using LOA for passing and returning lists of named results from Subs.
It makes it easy to pass variable length and named arguments to a Sub.

A second suggestion (I used up all my requests ).
If in the future it is decided to implement the [..] and {..} notation it would be nice to have a list argument
that is automatically converted to an Array() argument where needed.
i.e.

If arg Is List Then argarray = LOAUtils.ListToArray(arg) Else argarray = arg

Then (in the future) we would be able to say:

table.AddRow(["Goat", "Billy", 80, Null])

100% agree.

I think we still remember this discussion.

CreateMap and CreateList but shorter

I use Maps and List a lot. I love CreateMap() function. However, sometimes I think it has a bit more characters (9). I think the ideal length is 3 to 5 max. I am not complaining during typing since we have auto-complete but when reading as code, I feel a bit uneasy. 🥲 Can we have a clone of...
