The best way to get start with TSantos Serializer is by using the builder. With a few configurations you are ready to serialize your data:

use TSantos\Serializer\SerializerBuilder;

class Post {
    public $title;
    public $summary;
}

$serializer = (new SerializerBuilder())
    ->setHydratorDir('/path/to/generated/hydrators')
    ->build();

$person = new Post('Post title', 'Post summary');

echo $serializer->serialize($person); // {"title":"Post title", "summary":"Post summary"}
