About The Project

Composes and decomposes objects, clusters, maps and sets in LabVIEW, effectively breaking encapsulation by making private data accessible. Use with caution!

Known Issues

• Decompose Set is not safe to use in LabVIEW 2019 to 2023 Q3 because of a known issue in the Variant To Flattened String primitive. It was tracked under issue number 2058864 and fixed in LabVIEW 2024 Q1.^{1 2 3}
