If you have questions to it let me know, then we can discuss it!

What I could imagine is the following:

  * Extend Property Mapping to support the reverse direction "object ->
    Simple Type", and also under a specific "context".
  * For JSON, you'd then call property mapping "object -> array" under
    the context "json"
  * the resulting array would then be json_encoded.


The type converter configuration from object to JSON could then be
defined globally via settings.yaml or overridden using type converter
specific configuration.

What do you think?

Greets,
Sebastian
