• Refactored to PHP 7.4, updated packages and project structure (#12, #11).

Fixes an error retrieving header if the data is `[null]`

A NoDataException is thrown if [null] is passed to process() to prevent an error retrieving structure details (headers) for such data. An array of multiple nulls will still fail.

Fix: Arrays of null where data is expected now parses properly

If Struct::autoUpgradeToArray() is enabled, an array of null values would create an arrayOfNULL type in the structure, incompatible with any other array, so no non-null values could appear in such array.

• Example:

  [
    { "runId": [
        null
    ]},
    { "runId": [
        "value"
    ]}
  ]
  

This array would previously fail as incompatible. Now the first is simply ignored.

Fix an exception on empty data

Throw NoDataException if the data type is unknown and an empty set is passed to Parser::process()

Fixed on the fly analysis in Parser::parse() "spam"

• Only analyze data in parse() if they're really unknown - less data than what's being parsed

Struct fix

• fix: Struct::load() now throws a correct exception if the array structure is wrong
• feat: getArrayType() has moved from Analyzer to Struct and is now public

Major rewrite for better maintainability & bugfixes

• Removed arrayStringMix, replaced with autoUpgradeToArray, which supports arrays of objects.
• Added check preventing mixing of scalar and object values in an array.
• Added Struct and Analyzer classes that take care of the data analysis and storage of structure.
• Struct::load() now checks integrity of the structure on load
• Arrays in the Struct now contain their type (eg. arrayOfinteger)
• In a non-strict mode (default), all scalars are now identified as scalar from their initial analysis, not when a mismatch is encountered.
