accept(ValidationVisitorInterface $visitor, mixed $value, string|string[] $group, string $propertyPath) deprecated deprecated since version 2.5, to be removed in 3.0. Implementation of the Visitor design pattern. Calls {@link ValidationVisitorInterface::visit} and then forwards the accept()-call to all property metadata instances. Parameters ValidationVisitorInterface $visitor The visitor implementing the validation logic mixed $value The value to validate string|string[] $group

interface MetadataInterface deprecated since version 2.5, to be removed in 3.0. Use {@link Mapping\MetadataInterface} instead. A container for validation metadata. The container contains constraints that may belong to different validation groups. Constraints for a specific group can be fetched by calling {@link findConstraints}. Implement this interface to add validation metadata to your own metadata layer. Each metadata may have named properties. Each property can be represented by one

interface MetadataInterface A container for validation metadata. Most importantly, the metadata stores the constraints against which an object and its properties should be validated. Additionally, the metadata stores whether objects should be validated against their class' metadata and whether traversable objects should be traversed or not. Methods int getCascadingStrategy() Returns the strategy for cascading objects. int getTraversalStrategy() Returns the strategy for traversing tr
