Explain how to use ArrayAccess, the predefined interface of PHP

After PHP5, a series of predefined interfaces were added. These interfaces and implemented classes are collectively called SPL. Among these interfaces is a heavyweight interface, ArrayAccess, which allows your objects to be accessed like an array.

Introduction to the interface, four methods need to be defined to use the ArrayAccess method.

ArrayAccess {
    /* Methods */
    abstract public boolean offsetExists ( mixed $offset )
    abstract public mixed offsetGet ( mixed $offset )
    abstract public void offsetSet ( mixed $offset , mixed $value )
    abstract public void offsetUnset ( mixed $offset )
}

The specific implementation of this interface in Slim is given below. Slim defines a collection class Collection, which provides general interface methods for collection objects. The CollectionInterface interface inherited by this class inherits the ArrayAccess predefined interface.

/**
* 集合接口，在容器的设置中传入一个数组，返回一个Collection对象。
* Collection InterfaceCollectionInterface
* @package Slim
* @since   3.0.0
 */
interface CollectionInterface extends \ArrayAccess, \Countable, \IteratorAggregate{   
    public function set($key, $value);
    public function get($key, $default = null);
    public function replace(array $items);
    public function all();
    public function has($key);
    public function remove($key);
    public function clear();
} 说一下，Slim框架的Collection类。在Slim的容器Contianer中合并容器的默认配置$defaultSetting(类的私有变量)和用户配置$userSetting(日志，模板，数据库配置等)之后，会返回了一个集合对象Collection。由于该集合对象继承了ArrayAccess，我们在将配置文件依次加载后，就可以像操作数组一样操作它啦。
