How to create Map<String, String> from Account List?

Can we convert List<account> to Map<String, String> i.e. Map<FieldLabel, FieldValue> pair. 


Thanks in advance.

I got the answer by using Describe call. 
  
List<Account> accList = new List<Account>();

Map<String, Object> AccMap = accList.getPopulatedFieldsAsMap();

Thanks.

Try this
  
List<Account> acc=[Select id ,Name form Account] ;

Map<String,String> str = new Map<String,String>() ;
for(Account a :acc){
  str.put(a.Name ,'Name');  
}

There is no direct way to do so. the only way to iterate your List<Account> and you can build your own map. 

Please let me know your actual requirements then we can help you better.

List class do not have any method called 'getPopulatedFieldsAsMap()'. so it is wrong. 

describe is used for getting metadata value, not the record value. I do not think your questions & answer is right.

i think you mean the below. and the method on Sobject( not on List)
