fun String.toBooleanStrictOrNull(): Boolean?
(source)

Returns true if the content of this string is equal to the word "true", false if it is equal to "false", and null otherwise.

There is also a lenient version of the function available on nullable String, String?.toBoolean. Note that this function is case-sensitive.
