Can doctrine2 hydrate a new entity from an array?

Question

I think the title asks it all. Very simple, I have an entity:

class User {
    private $id;
    private $name;
    private $username;
}

with all the appropriate setters and getter. I have an array:

array( 'name' => 'joe', 'username' => 'shmoe' );

and I want to be able to do something like this:

Some\Unknown\Doctrine\Object::hydrateFromArray($array);

Obviously creating a function to hydrate it an object would be easy enough, but surely doctrine must have something build in to accomplish this?

Thanks to answer of HKandulla, i using symfony component ObjectNormalizer:

$myHydratedObject = (new ObjectNormalizer())->denormalize($array, MyAnyEntity::class);
