CHANGELOG

2.7.0

* added support for serialization and deserialization groups including annotations, XML and YAML mapping. * added AbstractNormalizer to factorise code and ease normalizers development * added circular references handling for PropertyNormalizer * added support for a context key called object_to_populate in AbstractNormalizer to reuse existing objects in the deserialization process * added NameConverterInterface and CamelCaseToSnakeCaseNameConverter * [DEPRECATION] GetSetMethodNormalizer::setCamelizedAttributes() and PropertyNormalizer::setCamelizedAttributes() are replaced by CamelCaseToSnakeCaseNameConverter * [DEPRECATION] the Exception interface has been renamed to ExceptionInterface * added ObjectNormalizer leveraging the PropertyAccess component to normalize objects containing both properties and getters / setters / issers / hassers methods.

2.6.0

* added a new serializer: PropertyNormalizer. Like GetSetMethodNormalizer, this normalizer will map an object's properties to an array. * added circular references handling for GetSetMethodNormalizer

2.5.0

added support for `is.getters inGetSetMethodNormalizer`

2.4.0

* added $context support for XMLEncoder. * [DEPRECATION] JsonEncode and JsonDecode where modified to throw an exception if error found. No need for get*Error() functions

2.3.0

* added GetSetMethodNormalizer::setCamelizedAttributes to allow calling camel cased methods for underscored properties

2.2.0

* [BC BREAK] All Serializer, Normalizer and Encoder interfaces have been modified to include an optional $context array parameter. * The XML Root name can now be configured with the xml_root_name parameter in the context option to the XmlEncoder. * Options to json_encode and json_decode can be passed through the context options of JsonEncode and JsonDecode encoder/decoders.

2.1.0

* added DecoderInterface::supportsDecoding(), EncoderInterface::supportsEncoding() * removed NormalizableInterface::denormalize(), NormalizerInterface::denormalize(), NormalizerInterface::supportsDenormalization() * removed normalize() denormalize() encode() decode() supportsSerialization() supportsDeserialization() supportsEncoding() supportsDecoding() getEncoder() from SerializerInterface * Serializer now implements NormalizerInterface, DenormalizerInterface, EncoderInterface, DecoderInterface in addition to SerializerInterface * added DenormalizableInterface and DenormalizerInterface * [BC BREAK] changed GetSetMethodNormalizer's key names from all lowercased to camelCased (e.g. mypropertyvalue to myPropertyValue) * [BC BREAK] convert the item XML tag to an array

``` xml
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<response>
    <item><title><![CDATA[title1]]></title></item><item><title><![CDATA[title2]]></title></item>
</response>
```

Before:

    Array()

After:

    Array(
        [item] => Array(
            [0] => Array(
                [title] => title1
            )
            [1] => Array(
                [title] => title2
            )
