Abstract
Examples are generally directed towards converting complex structure attributes into flattened data. A configuration capture component analyzes a set of objects associated with a set of complex structure attributes. A complex structure attribute is an attribute of an object that is an array attribute or a nested object attribute. The configuration capture component performs a hash type conversion to convert nested object attributes into flattened data. The configuration capture component performs an array type conversion to convert nested array attributes into flattened data. The flattened data is stored or imported in a set of flattened data files. An expansion component converts the flattened data files back into the complex structure attributes without losing or corrupting the complex structure data.
