0.4.0

What's Changed

Added

• The ObjectMapper interface was introduced, which represents both generated and reflection based mappers.
• [Major Feature] Serialization was added to the main ObjectHydrator interface.
• Array hydration now also has rudimentary support for docblock type hints (@param Type[] $name, @param array<Type> $name, @param array<string, Type> $name).

Deprecations

• The ObjectHydrator class was deprecated, use ObjectMapperUsingReflection and hint against the new ObjectMapper interface.
• The ListOfObjects class was deprecated, use the IterableList object instead.
• The KeyFormattingWithoutConversion class was deprecated, use the KeyFormatterWithoutConversion class instead.

Breaking Changes

• The ObjectHydrator class was converted into an interface named ObjectMapper, the main implementation is ObjectMapperUsingReflection.
• The PropertyDefintion class was renamed to PropertyHydrationDefinition to be symmetrical with the new PropertySerializationDefinition.
• The DefinitionProvider::provideDefinition method was deprecated in favour of the new provideHydrationDefinition for symmetry with provideSerializationDefinition.
• The KeyFormatter interface was changed by adding a keyToPropertyName method, needed for serialization.
• The ObjectHydrator::hydrateObjects return type class was renamed from ListOfObjects to IterableList.
