Introduction

The laminas-hydrator component provides functionality for hydrating objects (which is the act of populating an object from a set of data) and extracting data from them.

The component contains concrete implementations for a number of common use cases, such as by using arrays, object methods, and reflection, and provides interfaces for creating custom implementations.

Additionally, strategies and filters are provided for names and values, allowing for flexible and customizable hydration and extraction processes.
