func Convert(from any, to any) error

Convert converts a value (from - typically a struct or map[string]interface{}) to another value (to - typically also a struct or map[string]interface{}). This is helpful in a variety of cases, e.g., to encode ActionKit's action state.

This function leverages json.Marshal and json.Unmarshal internally whereas it previously leveraged the mapstructure package. It turned out that using the json package is beneficial, as many go internal (time.Time) and external packages (Kubernetes resource types) are compatible with the json package, but not with mapstructure.
