**Symfony version(s) affected**: 5.2.1 **How to reproduce** ```php final class DTO { public mixed $a; } $serializer->deserialize('{"a": 1}', DTO::class, 'json'); ``` gives error `The type of the "a" attribute for class "DTO" must be one of "" ("int" given).` **Additional context** Works well if phpdoc `mixed` type is used instead.
