IMHO, more generic normalizers, like ObjectNormalizer or JsonSerializableNormalizer should have lower priority than other more specific normalizers, like DateTimeNormalizer, ConstraintViolationListNormalizer, etc.

My issue was with Carbon library, which extends php's DateTime.
Carbon classes implement JsonSerializable interface, so they are serialized with JsonSerializableNormalizer, using its internal toJSON() method, so I can't control which format I want them to be serialized.
I should be able to do it, as I can with DateTime, cause both implement DateTimeInterface.

That's because JsonSerializableNormalizer has higher priority than DateTimeNormalizer.

For now, my "fix" was to change priority in config like so:

serializer.normalizer.json_serializable:
        class: Symfony\Component\Serializer\Normalizer\JsonSerializableNormalizer
        tags:
            - {name: 'serializer.normalizer', priority: -950 }

Hey!

I see that this is your first PR. That is great! Welcome!

Symfony has a contribution guide which I suggest you to read.

In short:

  • Always add tests
  • Keep backward compatibility (see https://symfony.com/bc).
  • Bug fixes must be submitted against the lowest maintained branch where they apply (see https://symfony.com/releases)
  • Features and deprecations must be submitted against the 6.2 branch.

Review the GitHub status checks of your pull request and try to solve the reported issues. If some tests are failing, try to see if they are failing because of this change.

When two Symfony core team members approve this change, it will be merged and you will become an official Symfony contributor!
If this PR is merged in a lower version branch, it will be merged up to all maintained branches within a few days.

I am going to sit back now and wait for the reviews.

Cheers!
