# Feature: #90347 - Enable recursive transformation of properties in JsonView

See [forge#90347](https://forge.typo3.org/issues/90347)

## Description

The Extbase `\TYPO3\CMS\Extbase\Mvc\View\JsonView` is now able to resolve
recursive properties of objects, e.g. directories containing directories or
comments containing comments as replies.

Examples:

1.  This is for 1:1 relations, where a comment has at most 1 comment.

```php
$configuration = [
    'comment' => [
        '_recursive' => ['comment']
     ]
];
```

1.  This is for the more common 1:n relation in which you have lists of sub objects.

```php
$configuration = [
    'directories' => [
        '_descendAll' => [
            '_recursive' => ['directories']
        ],
    ]
];
```

You can put all the other configuration like `_only` or `_exclude` at the same
level as `_recursive` and the view will apply this for all levels.

## Impact

Developers can now use the `_recursive` property in the `JsonView`
configuration in order to resolve recursive properties instead of defining each
level manually.
