Value conversion using ValueMap vs standard java methods I was looking into aem-core-wcm-components GitHub repo and noticed the different patterns for converting string to integer or boolean. Below is the code snippet from BreadcrumpImpl.java. @ScriptVariable
private ValueMap properties;
private boolean showHidden;
private int startLevel;
@PostConstruct
private void initModel() {
startLevel = properties.get(PN_START_LEVEL, currentStyle.get(PN_START_LEVEL, PROP_START_LEVEL_DEFAULT));
showHidden = properties.get(PN_SHOW_HIDDEN, currentStyle.get(PN_SHOW_HIDDEN, PROP_SHOW_HIDDEN_DEFAULT));
} Another thing is, the properties have not been directly mapped and have been accessed through "private ValueMap properties".Link to original code: https://github.com/adobe/aem-core-wcm-components/blob/development/bundles/core/src/main/java/com/adobe/cq/wcm/core/components/internal/models/v1/BreadcrumbImpl.java#:~:text=%40ScriptVariable,%7DThis pattern has been used in other components too, e.g. ListUsually, what we do is that we map
