+.. tip::
+
+    You can give an object graph with nullable object.
+
+    Given an object graph ``comment.person.profile``, where ``person`` is optional (can be null),
+    you can call the property accessor with ``comment.person?.profile`` (using the nullsafe
+    operator) to avoid exception.
+
+    For example::
+
+        class Person
+        {
+        }
+        class Comment
+        {
+            public ?Person $person = null;

+        $comment->message = 'test';

+        // This code throws an exception of type
+        // Symfony\Component\PropertyAccess\Exception\UnexpectedTypeException
+        var_dump($propertyAccessor->getValue($comment, 'person.firstname'));
+
+        // The code now returns null, instead of throwing an exception of type
+        // Symfony\Component\PropertyAccess\Exception\UnexpectedTypeException,
+        var_dump($propertyAccessor->getValue($comment, 'person?.firstname')); // null

 .. caution::
 
     Accessing public properties is the last option used by ``PropertyAccessor``.
