@dunglas Will rebase if this is still useful... Let me know if the use cases in those issues are already supported.

@teohhanhui it should work without the need for a new normalizer in master now thanks to #375. Can you try?

That's great! I'll try upgrading soon...

#422 fixes the last problem related to this PR (and it proves it works for dates, but it is a generic solution).

@teohhanhui can you try with master?

By the way, without tests, there's almost no chances that we merge this PR :)

@dunglas @sroze It's still a problem when using Doctrine Embeddables. They should be able to be marked as @ApiResource (for the whole set of features that come with that).

Also, currently the normalization / denormalization chain of ItemNormalizer stops when a Doctrine Embeddable is encountered (because it's just treated as a normal object and handled by ObjectNormalizer). This might not be a problem if #528 is implemented (our current process is inherently flawed because it depends on an unbroken chain from the top).
