It supports the CSV, JSON, XML and YAML formats. It also supports features such as exclusion strategies (groups, max depth, circular reference, version, ...), naming strategies (camel case, snake case, studly caps), automatic/explicit mapping (reflection, annotation, XML, YAML, JSON) and many others... ``` use Ivory\Serializer\Format; use Ivory\Serializer\Serializer; $stdClass = new \stdClass(); $stdClass->foo = true; $stdClass->bar = ['foo', [123, 432.1]]; $serializer = new Serializer(); echo $serializer->serialize($stdClass, Format::JSON); // {"foo": true,"bar": ["foo", [123, 432.1]]} $deserialize = $serializer->deserialize($json, \stdClass::class, Format::JSON); // $deserialize == $stdClass ``` Documentation ------------- [](#documentation) - [Installation](/doc/installation.md) - [Usage](/doc/usage.md) - [Mapping](/doc/mapping.md) - [Type](/doc/type.md) - [Event](/doc/event.md) - [Visitor](/doc/visitor.md) - [Context](/doc/context.md) - [Exclusion strategies](/doc/context.md#exclusion-strategies) - [Naming strategies](/doc/context.md#naming-strategies) Testing ------- [](#testing) The library is fully unit tested by [PHPUnit](http://www.phpunit.de/) with a code coverage close to **100%**.
