Symfony version(s) affected

5.0-7.1

Description

The normalize() method in the Symfony\Component\Serializer\Normalizer\NormalizerInterface interface has the first argument named object, yet in the class implementing this interface, Symfony\Component\Serializer\Serializer, the first argument is called data. This discrepancy prevents the use of a named argument.

Fatal error: Uncaught Error: Unknown named parameter $object

How to reproduce

use Symfony\Component\Serializer\Normalizer\NormalizerInterface;

class DummyService {
    public function __construct(private readonly NormalizerInterface $normalizer) {}

    public summy($object): array
    {
        return $this->normalizer->normalize(
            object: $value, 
            context: [
                'some' => 'context'
            ],
        );
    }
}

Possible Solution

Rename first argument of Symfony\Component\Serializer\Serializer::normalize() class as described in interface

Additional Context

Perhaps it's unlikely that anyone will use the named argument as the first parameter, but it does seem like an inconsistency in implementation, I suppose. Thanks.
