This type should be registered as a commented type to avoid weird updates (as the field would be detected as Text otherwise when inspecting the DB)

[schmittjoh]

Not sure I understand what you mean.

This seems like an architectural problem, or how would a custom type register itself a such a type?

[stof]

@schmittjoh custom types can register themselves as commented types (there is another method for this in the platform), and DoctrineBundle marks custom types as commented by default now (not in 2.0).
And the architecture is indeed not optimal (you have to register types twice: once in the Type class and once in the platform). This is on @beberlei's todo-list AFAIK

[stof]

@schmittjoh you should update the PR to register the type as commented one.

@beberlei, updated

I've also added a JsonArrayType which I found quite useful in practice.

[beberlei]

Why not just JSON? Since it can be an json array or object?

[schmittjoh]

array refers to the PHP type which is converted to JSON, i.e. we are not creating stdClass objects.

I think it makes sense, no?

[beberlei]

Ah, yes, makes sense.
