Deserializer Contracts
======================

[](#deserializer-contracts)

Contracts for [deserializing](https://github.com/Stratadox/Deserializer)input data.

A [deserializer](src/Deserializer.php) converts serialized data into objects.

Serialized input data is provided in the form of an array, either numeric or associative. It can come from various sources, be it a json document, a relational database or other source.

Deserializers can be configured and combined to transform one or more data schemas into specific types of object structures.

Modules that have some kind of data and need it transformed into some kind of object structure can simply request a `Deserializer` and focus on the task at hand. This makes the module easier to read, by not distracting with data formatting details, and more extensible: they can be provisioned with a new serializer to accept new formats without having to alter the module itself.

Installation
------------

[](#installation)

Install with `composer require stratadox/deserializer-contracts`

Why are there only interfaces in this package
---------------------------------------------

[](#why-are-there-only-interfaces-in-this-package)

This package exists to decouple the concept of a deserializer from its [default implementation](https://github.com/Stratadox/Deserializer).

In this setup, projects that support some kind of deserialization can opt to depend only on a few interfaces, instead of having to always import the default serializer without actually using it.
