+
+    The ``normalizer`` option was introduced in Symfony 5.3.
+
+This option allows to define the PHP callable applied to each element of the given collection before
+checking if the collection is valid.
+
+For example, you may want to pass the ``'trim'`` string to apply the
+:phpfunction:`trim` PHP function to each element of the collection in order to ignore leading and trailing
+whitespace during validation.
