For those that think they can't use array_walk to change / replace a key name, here you go:

<?php
function array_explore(array &$array, callable $callback)
{
    array_walk($array, function(&$value, $key) use (&$array, $callback)
    {
        $callback($array, $key, $value);

        if(is_array($value))
        {
            array_explore($value, $callback);
        }
    });
}

/**

 */
function renameKey(array &$data, $oldKey, $newKey, $ignoreMissing = false, $replaceExisting = false)
{
    if (!empty($data))
    {
        if (!array_key_exists($oldKey, $data))
        {
            if ($ignoreMissing)
            {
                return FALSE;
            }

            throw new \Exception('Old key does not exist.');
        }
        else
        {
            if (array_key_exists($newKey, $data))
            {
                if ($replaceExisting)
                {
                    unset($data[$newKey]);
                }
                else
                {
                    throw new \Exception('New key already exist.');
                }
            }

            $keys = array_keys($data);

            return TRUE;
        }
    }

    return FALSE;
}
    
$array = [
    "_10fish" => 'xyz',
    "_11fish" => [

        ],
    "someFish" => [
        'xyz',
        '@attributes' => ['type' => 'cod']
        ]
    ];

array_explore($array, function(&$value, $key)

    // Replace key '@attrutes' with '_attributes'
    if('@attributes' === $key)
    {
