Symfony\Component\Serializer\Normalizer\NormalizableInterface

interface NormalizableInterface

Defines the most basic interface a class must implement to be normalizable

If a normalizer is registered for the class and it doesn't implement
the Normalizable interfaces, the normalizer will be used instead

Methods

array\|scalar	normalize(SerializerInterface $serializer, string\|null $format = null) Normalizes the object into an array of scalars\|arrays.
	denormalize(SerializerInterface $serializer, array\|scalar $data, string\|null $format = null) Denormalizes the object back from an array of scalars\|arrays.

Normalizes the object into an array of scalars|arrays.

It is important to understand that the normalize() call should normalize
recursively all child objects of the implementor.

SerializerInterface	$serializer	The serializer is given so that you can use it to normalize objects contained within this object.
string\|null	$format	The format is optionally given to be able to normalize differently based on different output formats.

array|scalar

Denormalizes the object back from an array of scalars|arrays.

It is important to understand that the normalize() call should denormalize
recursively all child objects of the implementor.

SerializerInterface	$serializer	The serializer is given so that you can use it to denormalize objects contained within this object.
array\|scalar	$data	The data from which to re-create the object.
string\|null	$format	The format is optionally given to be able to denormalize differently based on different input formats.
