The first one needs to name the value, and the second one needs to move the cursor back. Thus I'd suggest adding a helper function behaves like the converter.\n\n\u003e demo usage\n\n```cpp\nobj[\"key\"].value().ToString();\n```\n\n\u003e possible impl\n\n```cpp\nValue value() const { return *this; }\n```\n","author":{"url":"https://github.com/neko-para","@type":"Person","name":"neko-para"},"datePublished":"2025-04-12T13:30:51.000Z","interactionStatistic":{"@type":"InteractionCounter","interactionType":"https://schema.org/CommentAction","userInteractionCount":3},"url":"https://github.com/1651/node-addon-api/issues/1651"}
