require 'vendor/autoload.php';

function api_call(...$args): string {
    return file_get_contents('https://jsonplaceholder.typicode.com/'.implode('/', $args));
}

/** @var Post[] $posts */
$posts = json2_decode(api_call('posts'), Post::class);

class Post{

    #[JSONProperty(json: 'userId')]
    protected int $user_id;
    protected int $id;
    protected string $title;
    protected string $body;
    
    protected User $user;
    
    /**
     * @var Comment[]
     */
    protected array $comments;
    
    /**
     * @return User
     * @throws ReflectionException
     */
    public function getUser(): User
    {
        return $this->user ??= json2_decode(api_call('users', $this->user_id), User::class);
    }

    /**
     * @return Comment[]
     */
    public function getComments(): array
    {
        return $this->comments ??= json2_decode(api_call('posts', $this->id, 'comments'), Comment::class);
    }
}

class User{
    protected int $id;
    protected string $name;
    protected string $username;
    protected Address $address;
    protected Company $company;
