Building Restful APIs with Symfony Components
summary
Shows how five Symfony components—HTTP Foundation, Serializer, Validator, Form and Guard—combine to build REST APIs, with concrete demos: returning 201 on POST, group-based JSON views, max-depth to avoid circular refs, and a simple JWT auth flow that actually issues tokens. Mentions JMS Serializer, FOSRestBundle and Nelmio for docs, uses SQLite fixtures with Alice/Faker and PHPUnit functional tests, and gives migration patterns for incrementally replacing legacy code while the API works.
