Why another serializer?
-----------------------

[](#why-another-serializer)

`flolefebvre/serializer` focuses on **simplicity and strictness**:

- DTOs are *just* classes extending [`Serializable`](src/Serializable.php).
- Validation occurs **before** the object exists — no invalid state can persist.
- No generated code or heavy reflection caches; your build stays ultra‑fast.

---

Features
--------

[](#features)

✅ Constructor‑promoted DTOs only✅ Automatic validation via `#[Rule]`✅ Pure attribute configuration✅ Typed arrays (`#[ArrayType]`)✅ Laravel DI & Request auto‑binding✅ Custom type‑casts (`TypeCast` interface)✅ Eloquent JSON cast (single / list)✅ `JsonResponse` ready to return---

Requirements
------------

[](#requirements)

- PHP **8.2+**
- Laravel **10 / 11**
- `ext-json`
