JsonApiStruct unable to deserialise arrays

Description

I am using a JsonApiStruct to deserialise data returned via a REST client. The JsonApiStruct documentation page says that arrays are supported (although no examples are given): https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/Arma_Reforger:JsonApiStruct_Usage.

When attempting to deserialise a static float array using ExpandFromRAW() or LoadFromFile(), EJsonApiError.ETJSON_NOTARRAY is raised and the array retains its default value (all zeroes). Deserialising other simple types in the JsonApiStruct (strings, ints, etc) works as expected.

I have also been unable to deserialise as dynamic arrays either.

Severity: Minor
Resolution: Open
Reproducibility: Always
Operating System: Windows 11 x64
Operating System Version: 23H2

Steps To Reproduce

Simple test struct:

class TAG_TestStruct : JsonApiStruct
{
	float myArray[3];
	
	void TAG_TestStruct()
	{	
		RegV("myArray");
	}
	
	override void OnSuccess(int errorCode)
	{
		Print("Successfully expanded JSON");
	}
	
	override void OnError(int errorCode)
	{
		Print("Error expanding JSON: " + errorCode);
	}
}

Code to deserialise using struct:

class TAG_RestCallback : RestCallback
{
	ref TAG_TestStruct m_testStruct;
	
	override void OnError(int errorCode)
	{
		Print("OnError()");
	}
	
	override void OnTimeout()
	{
		Print("OnTimeout()");
	}

	override void OnSuccess(string data, int dataSize)
	{
		m_testStruct = new TAG_TestStruct();
		m_testStruct.ExpandFromRAW(data);
	}
}

Data sent: {"myArray": [1, 2, 3]}

Error EJsonApiError.ETJSON_NOTARRAY event is raised, and the m_testStruct.myArray has default value {0,0,0} instead of {1,2,3}
