To get any node from an array:

```
use Rwillians\Stingray\Stingray;

$someArray = array(
    'client' => array(
        'name' = 'John Doe'
    )
);

// Getting a value using dot notation:
echo Stingray::get($someArray, 'client.name'); // Outputs: 'John Doe'

// Changing a value using dot notation:
Stingray::set($someArray, 'client.name', 'Jane Doe');

// Create a new key-value to an existent array using dot notation:
Stingray::set($someArray, 'client.address', 'Some Street, 123');
