Overview
--------

[](#overview)

The Ivory Serializer is a PHP 5.6+ library allowing you to (de)-serialize complex data using the visitor pattern recursively on each node of the graph. 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
```
