Build RESTful APIs easily with Symfony
summary
Concrete recipes and working configs for building JSON APIs with FOSRestBundle, object serialization via JMS serializer, and hypermedia using the HATEOAS project. Shows content‑type negotiation, a request body converter that maps incoming JSON to domain objects, automatic validation producing a ConstraintViolationList, and a wrapper for consistent error payloads. Demonstrates Bazinga HATEOAS output with _links and _embedded plus pagination metadata, and using Guzzle for service‑to‑service calls, all wired and tested in real examples.
