consolidare's Issues

Multi Dimensional Arrays

This is not something I have considered at all. It needs some though as to how best to handle this inside the project. This needs to be scoped out before any work is done, so suggestions are welcome!

Doc Blocks

So... yea... I didn't add any. Probably should get round to this at some point.

Return Types

At the moment we always return a PHP array.

We handle multiple types of input but not output. You can merge two JSON objects but get a PHP array out. This doesn't seem right.

Implementing something that allows you to return specific formats or add your own custom ones could be a good idea. By default, something like PHP Array, JSON, and maybe a generic object hydrator? But make extensible via the Open/Closed principle.
