JMSSerializerBundle
===================

Introduction
------------

JMSSerializerBundle allows you to serialize your objects into a requested
output format such as JSON, XML, or YAML, and vice versa. It provides you 
with a rich toolset which empowers you to adapt the output to your specific
needs.

Built-in features include:

- (de-)serialize object graphs of any complexity including circular references
- supports many built-in PHP types (such as dates)
- integrates with Doctrine ORM, et. al.
- supports versioning, e.g. for APIs
- configurable via PHP, XML, YAML, or annotations
