PHP 8.4 compatibility and better type-safe arrays

This library has been upgraded to fully support PHP 8.4, including removal of any deprecations from previous PHP versions, and the implementation of explicit nullable types.

The type-safe array functions have been improved to bring more consistency with other type-safe functions. The main change is how exceptions are raised: if the value within an array can be cast to the specified type, it will automatically cast (just as it does with the existing type-safe functions), but if not, PHP will throw the appropriate error to indicate that a class can't be cast to a type (or a value can't be cast to a class).

v1 release

The first public stable release of the most boring PHP library has just landed! DataObject adds such simple functionality to projects, but it is an important staple to how repositories within PHP.Gt and beyond will interoperate.

Have fun and stay productive!

JSON functionality refactored into own repository

The usefulness of the JsonObject and JsonObjectBuilder classes are worth maintaining separately. This keeps the functionality of this repository totally focussed, exactly how a DataObject should be.

See https://github.com/PhpGt/Json for the refactored functionality that builds upon this repository.

JsonData objects

An extension to the DataObject, the JsonData object can represent the datatypes of a standard Json response, which includes arrays and primitives.
