Developing APIs with Symfony in 2023
summary
Symphony updates in 2023 focus on concrete developer ergonomics: native PHP 8 attributes for routing, autowiring and service aliases, MapRequestPayload -> DTO via Serializer + Validator producing 422 on invalid JSON, a Route name alias using FQCN, new DI features like AutowireCallable and AsAlias, HttpClient UriTemplate resolver and multi‑base URI retries, Request::getPayload, and UUID v7 support planned as default in Symfony 7. Many features land in 6.3/6.4 or are in PRs; 360 contributors touched the repo last month.
