DrupalCon Los Angeles 2015: Data Serialization with Symfony & Drupal

This talk introduces the built-in RESTful API of Drupal 8, designed to expose content in standardized formats such as XML and JSON. The speaker explains how the Symfony Serializer component handles the serialization and deserialization of arrays and nested object graphs within Drupal. Attendees will learn how to extend the Serializer's capabilities by creating and integrating new normalizers and encoders, along with an overview of improvements made to the component for the upcoming Symfony 2.7 LTS version.
