Experimenting enum type converters
In this demo, i m experimenting ways of conversion from enums (decorated with EnumMember) to strings
The enum converter should support the following cases :
📌 From string enum value To enum value
📌 From string integer enum value To enum value
📌 From string enum member value value To enum value
The built-in implementation EnumConverter provided by microsoft don't support the last case about EnumMember
In order to support all the cases, i m testing and benchmarking two implementations :
1️⃣ StringEnumConverter
2️⃣ CachedStringEnumConverter
