Serializing modern PHP
Larry Garfield
In 2021, I was tasked with building a new serialization system for TYPO3. The result was a trio of new, general-purpose libraries that demonstrate the power and flexibility of the modern PHP language: FP, AttributeUtils, and Serde. In this session, we'll start with an overview of the plethora of potential PHP processes for handling serialized data, and show their pros and cons. We'll then transition into talking about Serde and what goes into a modern PHP 8-centric serialization framework, before showing novel ways to use serialization tools. Along the way, we'll touch on the power of PHP attributes, and how AttributeUtils makes them even more powerful.
