DictionaryAdapter

DictionaryAdapter type-casts dictionary TKey and TValue types.

// Byte map
IDictionary<ulong, byte[]> files = new Dictionary<ulong, byte[]>();
// Files based car serializer
IDictionary<string, Car> cars = new DictionaryAdapter<ulong, byte[], string, Car>(
    files, null, id => new FNVHash64().HashIn(id), Car.Deserialize, c => c.Serialize(), null, c => c.Id
);

// Write car
cars["XYZ-123"] = new Car { Id = "XYZ-123", Name = "My Car" };
// Read car
Car car = cars["XYZ-123"];
// List cars
foreach (Car _car in cars.Values)
    Console.WriteLine(_car);

public record Car
{
    static UTF8Encoding encoding = new UTF8Encoding(false);

    public string Id { get; set; } = "id";
    public string Name { get; set; } = "";

    public static Car Deserialize(byte[] data)
    {
        // Read id
        int len = data[0];
        string id = encoding.GetString(data, 1, len);
        // Read string
        string name = encoding.GetString(data, len + 1, data.Length - len - 1);
        // 
        return new Car { Id = id, Name = name };
    }

    public byte[] Serialize()
    {
        MemoryStream ms = new MemoryStream();
        // Write Id
        byte[] idBytes = encoding.GetBytes(Id);
        ms.WriteByte((byte)idBytes.Length);
        for (int i = 0; i < idBytes.Length; i++) ms.WriteByte(idBytes[i]);
        // Write name
        byte[] nameBytes = encoding.GetBytes(Name);
        for (int i = 0; i < nameBytes.Length; i++) ms.WriteByte(nameBytes[i]);

        ms.Flush();
        return ms.ToArray();
    }
}
