Description

I like the new JSON Path component.

But when I already have an object, I sometime want an easy way to access the elements. I've been using https://packagist.org/packages/adbario/php-dot-notation but there are other that provide the same functionality.

Example

$composerData = json_decode(file_get_contents('composer.json'));
$data = new Dot($composerData);

// old way, still works
foreach ($data['config']['allow-plugins'] as $plugin) {}

// with dot
foreach ($data['config.allow-plugins'] as $plugin) {}

It feels like JsonPath is pretty close to offering this. Perhaps there could be a way to implement an ArrayAccess interface so that

$jsonPath = ... (get the jsonpath object from a json string or an existing object/array).
$jsonPath['home.owner.name.first'].

Of course, at this point it's not a JsonPath, so maybe a new component could be introduce.

A bit of brainstorming here, I'm still wrapping my head around all the cool features related to DTO, and wanted to bring this up as a way to access nested values.
