Currently, it supports XML and JSON. It also provides you with a rich tool-set to adapt the output to your specific needs. Built-in features include: - (De-)serialize data of any complexity; circular references and complex exclusion strategies are handled gracefully. - Supports many built-in PHP types (such as dates, intervals) - Integrates with Doctrine ORM, et. al. - Supports versioning, e.g. for APIs - Configurable via XML, YAML, or Annotations Documentation ------------- [](#documentation) Learn more about the serializer in its [documentation](http://jmsyst.com/libs/serializer).
