A class where properties are predefined is unimpacted by this. stdClass is also unimpacted (as it implicitly has allowdynamicproperties). The only classes you should need to add the attribute to are ones where you're using them, essentially, as typed associative arrays. I'm surprised if that's what you have, because it seems like a lot of extra effort to give names to what are essentially anonymous structures. The advantage of providing a name should be that you get to know what properties will be present (and perhaps that the values therein are validated or typed themselves). Can you expand a bit more on your use-case? -Sara
