Java, Convert instance of Class to HashMap

You can use reflection for implementing this behavior. You can get all fields of the class you want to convert to map iterate over this fields and take the name of each field as key of the map. This will result in a map from String to object.

Map<String, Object> myObjectAsDict = new HashMap<>();    
Field[] allFields = SomeClass.class.getDeclaredFields();
    for (Field field : allFields) {
        Class<?> targetType = field.getType();
        Object objectValue = targetType.newInstance();
        Object value = field.get(objectValue);
        myObjectAsDict.put(field.getName(), value);
    }
}

With jackson library this is also possible

MyObject obj = new MyObject();
obj.myInt = 1;
obj.myString = "1";
ObjectMapper mapObject = new ObjectMapper();
Map < String, Object > mapObj = mapObject.convertValue(obj, Map.class);

Something like that will do the trick:

MyObject obj = new MyObject();
obj.myInt = 1; obj.myString = "string";
Map<String, Object> map = new HashMap<>();
// Use MyObject.class.getFields() instead of getDeclaredFields()
// If you are interested in public fields only
for (Field field : MyObject.class.getDeclaredFields()) {
    // Skip this if you intend to access to public fields only
    if (!field.isAccessible()) {
        field.setAccessible(true);
    }
    map.put(field.getName(), field.get(obj));
}
System.out.println(map);

Output:

{myString=string, myInt=1}
