Encodable

Converts the encodable object into a dictionary with String keys and CustomStringConvertible values.

Discussion: The asDictionary property is an extension on Encodable that converts an encodable object into a dictionary representation. The resulting dictionary has string keys and values that conform to the CustomStringConvertible protocol.

The property uses JSON encoding and serialization to convert the encodable object into a dictionary. It first encodes the object using the epiJSONEncoder from JSONEncoder. Then, it deserializes the encoded data into a dictionary using JSONSerialization.

The resulting dictionary is then transformed to ensure that all values conform to CustomStringConvertible.

• If a value is already CustomStringConvertible, it is directly added to the dictionary.
• If a value is encodable, it recursively converts it to a dictionary using the asDictionary property.
• If a value cannot be converted to a String, its description is used instead.
