PropertyMetadataInterface

interface PropertyMetadataInterface implements MetadataInterface

Stores all metadata needed for validating the value of a class property.

Most importantly, the metadata stores the constraints against which the property's value should be validated.

Additionally, the metadata stores whether objects stored in the property should be validated against their class' metadata and whether traversable objects should be traversed or not.

Methods
