Metadata extractor
This internal method will try to find $lastUpdated and $lastUpdatedVersion at the first level of the provided Map (Object), and create a new instance of the TwinMetadata with this information.
Once the provide Object can or cannot be a Map, and, if it is a Map, it can or cannot contains a valid metadata, this method contains the label try, which means that it can return a valid TwinMetadata or null
.
For instance, for the follow Map, this method will create a TwinMetadata with lastUpdated = 2015-09-21T02:07:44.238Z
and lastUpdatedVersion = 3
"$lastUpdated":"2015-09-21T02:07:44.238Z",
"$lastUpdatedVersion":3,
"Value":{
"$lastUpdated":"2016-09-21T02:07:44.238Z",
"$lastUpdatedVersion":5
},
"NewValue":{
"$lastUpdated":"2017-09-21T02:07:44.238Z",
"$lastUpdatedVersion":5
}
Parameters:
Object

Returns:
Object
is a Map with
data and version metadata, or null
