How are nested objects or tabular columns mapped between Markdown Table and PHP Array? ▾

When converting hierarchical structures (2D header + separator + aligned data rows) and tabular or config formats (Deeply nested PHP return array config files), our engine automatically flattens or unflattens dot-separated keys (such as address.city) and preserves numbers, booleans, arrays, and null values.
