A Composer metapackage (Symfony Pack) that bundles the Symfony Serializer component together with its commonly used supporting dependencies. Installing it pulls in everything needed to serialize and deserialize PHP objects to and from formats like JSON and XML.

Use cases

• convert php objects to in a symfony app
• deserialize request bodies into dto objects
• set up symfony serializer with all recommended dependencies
• normalize and denormalize objects for api responses
• encode and decode xml and csv data in php
• quickly install serialization support in a symfony project

When to choose

• you use Symfony and want the serializer plus its typical dependencies in one composer require
• you need object-to-format serialization (JSON, XML, CSV) in a PHP project
• you want a maintained, officially recommended dependency set for Symfony Serializer

When to avoid

• you need fine-grained control over which serializer dependencies are installed
• you are not using Composer or the PHP ecosystem
• you need a standalone serializer outside Symfony's component model
