Discover the Serializer component

The Symfony’s Serializer component exists since version 2 of Symfony, but lately it has been improved and includes a lot of new features. During this talk, I’ll present the unknown but very powerful features of this library. After a reminder of the basics, we’ll discover how the component enables the use of any type of PHP object, whatever their styles : getters / setters, public properties, proxys… Then, we’ll see the different formats natively supported : JSON, XML, YAML and CSV. We’ll also use dates, and mention the file upload with the « data : URI » support. Finally, we’ll study more complex cases such as choosing the properties to serialize / unserialize thanks to groups, managing circular references, serializing trees by limiting their depth and updating the existing objects.
