      "someOtherPropA": 1,
      "someOtherPropB": 2
    },
    "someOtherPropC": [
      {
        "somePropD": {
          "somePropE": {}
        }
      },
      {
        "somePropD": {
          "somePropF": {}
        }

Output

type Simple = {
  somePropA: SimpleSomePropA,
};

type SimpleSomePropA = {
  somePropB: SimpleSomePropASomePropB,
  SomeOtherPropC: Array<SimpleSomePropASomeOtherPropC>,
};

type SimpleSomePropASomePropB = {
  someOtherPropA: number,
  someOtherPropB: number,
};

type SimpleSomePropASomeOtherPropC = {
  somePropD: SimpleSomePropASomeOtherPropCSomePropD,
};

type SimpleSomePropASomeOtherPropCSomePropD = {
  somePropE: object,
};
