A *simple* object hydrator using reflection for constructor or setter based injection.

The hydrator takes an array of raw data and hydrates one or multiple objects of a given class with that data.

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

There are two main types of hydrator provided, the `ObjectConstructorFromArrayHydrator` and the `ObjectSetterFromArrayHydrator` allowing you to hydrate via a constructor or via setters, respectively.

### Constructor hydration

[](#constructor-hydration)

If your object uses constructor injection then you can hydrate your objects using an instance of `ObjectConstructorFromArrayHydrator`.

Example:

```
$data = ['name' => 'Frank Turner', 'job_title' => 'Musician'];
$hyrdator = new ObjectConstructorFromArrayHydrator();
$person = $hydrator->hydrate('Person\Employee', $data);
```

The `Person\Employee` class would look as follows:
