Automatically support VO properties that are specified as arrays.

[evert]

This is a feature for VO's such as this:

class VO {

   public $foo = [];

}

Specifying the empty array as the default will cause the parser to assume that foo may appear more than once and append elements to the array.

Nice idea!

@evert what do you think about doing the same for object type?

class VO1 {

   public $foo = new SubVo();
}

class SubVo {
  public $name;
  public $xyz;
}

in this case we would not create a new object in the deserializer but pickup the one already present in the object-property...?

Well, I don't think that's valid PHP ;)

More importantly, you can actually achieve this with the mapValueObject function already.
