Detailed Description

Converts arbitrary values into strings using extended conversion rules:

• Numbers: are converted with '.' as decimal point
• DateTime: using ISO format
• Boolean: "true" for true and "false" for false
• Arrays: as comma-separated list
• Other objects: using toString() method

var value1 = StringConverter.ToString(123.456); // Result: "123.456"
var value2 = StringConverter.ToString(true); // Result: "true"
var value3 = StringConverter.ToString(ZonedDateTime.now()); // Result: "2018-01-01T00:00:00.00"
var value4 = StringConverter.ToString(new int[]{1, 2, 3}); // Result: "1,2,3"
