Convert a named or unnamed list/vector to a string representation

Converts a named or unnamed list/vector to a string format, intended for sending it to an LLM (or for display or logging).

Usage

vector_list_to_string(obj, how = c("inline", "expanded"))

Arguments

obj

A list or vector (named or unnamed) to be converted to a string.

how

In what way the object should be converted to a string; either "inline" or "expanded". "inline" presents all key-value pairs or values as a single line. "expanded" presents each key-value pair or value on a separate line.

Value

A single string representing the list/vector.
