In PHP, how do I deserialize objects in Symfony?

In Symfony, deserializing objects typically involves converting JSON or other serialized data formats back into PHP objects. One of the common ways to achieve this is by using the Serializer component provided by Symfony. Below is an example of how to deserialize a JSON string into an object.

use Symfony\Component\Serializer\Serializer; use Symfony\Component\Serializer\Encoder\JsonEncoder; use Symfony\Component\Serializer\Normalizer\ObjectNormalizer; // Assume we have a class User class User { public $name; public $email; } // JSON string to deserialize $json = '{"name": "John Doe", "email": "john@example.com"}'; // Create a serializer $normalizers = [new ObjectNormalizer()]; $encoders = [new JsonEncoder()]; $serializer = new Serializer($normalizers, $encoders); // Deserialize JSON to User object $user = $serializer->deserialize($json, User::class, 'json'); echo $user->name; // outputs "John Doe"
