Transform data

The NowData framework provides the ability to easily transform data into records.
Using the NowRecord convenience structure, which contains the properties sysId and fields, you can easily transform data into a record. Whenever you obtain a Data wrapping Result or Publisher, you can easily transform it into a NowRecord wrapping Result or Publisher using the convertToRecord() and convertToRecords() methods. For additional information, see NowTableService class - iOS.
Note: While NowRecord makes it very easy to quickly obtain data, depending on your use case, the Codable methods might be preferable as a strongly typed Codable structure provides more flexibility than a collection of "any" fields.
