This package is part of the [Apie](https://github.com/apie-lib) library. The code is maintained in a monorepo, so PR's need to be sent to the [monorepo](https://github.com/apie-lib/apie-lib-monorepo/pulls)

Documentation
-------------

[](#documentation)

The Apie serializer serializes stored data to the customers or backwards. It is very similar to the Symfony serializer, except the context array in Symfony serializer is replaced with a ApieSerializerContext which also contains method for recursive calls. It still has the same logic related to decoding/encoding/normalizing and denormalizing.

### Normalization and denormalization Usage

[](#normalization-and-denormalization-usage)

The simples use is just calling the static method create or customize it with the constructor method:

```
use Apie\Core\Context\ApieContext;
use Apie\Serializer\Serializer;

$serializer = Serializer::create();
// returns new SerializedHashmap(['id' => 'example@example.com', 'password' => 'p@ssW0rd'])
$serializer->normalize(new User('example@example.com', 'p@ssW0rd'), new ApieContext());
// returns new User('example.com', 'p@ssW0rd')
$serializer->denormalizeNewObject(
    ['id' => 'example@example.com', 'password' => 'p@ssW0rd'],
    User::class,
    new ApieContext()
);
```

### Customization

[](#customization)

To add your own normalization logic, you need to add a class implementing Apie\\Serializer\\Interfaces\\NormalizerInterface. To add your own denormalization logic, you need to add a class implementing Apie\\Serializer\\Interfaces\\DenormalizerInterface.
