instance method

Hash#to_h

hash.to_h → self or new_hash
hash.to_h {|key, value| ... } → new_hash

For an instance of Hash, returns self.

For a subclass of Hash, returns a new Hash containing the content of self.

When a block is given, returns a new Hash object whose content is based on the block; the block should return a 2-element Array object specifying the key-value pair to be included in the returned Array:

Example
h = {foo: 0, bar: 1, baz: 2}
h1 = h.to_h {|key, value| [value, key] }
h1 # => {0=>:foo, 1=>:bar, 2=>:baz}
