Abstract
The invention concerns a data processing method comprising the following steps: a)receiving a set of structured and mutually linked data to be processed, of the value type with a name and/or container with a name and capable of containing at least a value having a name and/or another container having a name; b) defining a dictionary object adapted to store/find in a memory workspace a container or a value under/corresponding to a predetermined name; c) generating an empty instance of the dictionary object; d) verifying whether the structure of the data to be processed is of the value or container type; e) if the data is of the value type, storing/finding the value in the memory workspace under/corresponding to the name of the data to be processed, and returning to step d) until the last data to be processed of said set whereas if the data is of the container type, generating an empty dictionary sub-object as per step c), filling the dictionary subobject with the content of the data to be processed as per step c) to e), and returning to step d) until the last data of the set has been processed.
