Why does Processor convert an array into nested stdClass?

[ruudk]

When an array is passed to my Processor, it returns a stdClass. Any idea how to keep this an array? I can manually convert it back, but it feels weird.

// This is an array
$configuration = Neon::decodeFile($this->configurationFile);

$schema = Expect::structure([
    'parameters' => Expect::structure([
            'directories' => Expect::listOf('string')->transform(fn(array $directories) => array_map($this->makeAbsolute(...), $directories)),
            'excludes' => Expect::listOf('string'),
            'environmentLoader' => Expect::string()->transform($this->makeAbsolute(...)),
    ]),
]);

$processor = new Processor();
$configuration = $processor->process($schema, $configuration);
// $configuration is a stdClass now

The easiest is to use Expect::structure([...])->castTo('array')

Thanks, that works
