Check out the JMS Serializer documentation at http://jmsyst.com/libs/serializer

From the introduction:

This library allows you to (de-)serialize data of any complexity. Currently, it supports XML, JSON, and YAML.

It also provides you with a rich tool-set to adapt the output to your specific needs.

Built-in features include:

• (De-)serialize data of any complexity; circular references are handled gracefully.
• Supports many built-in PHP types (such as dates)
• Integrates with Doctrine ORM, et. al.
• Supports versioning, e.g. for APIs
• Configurable via PHP, XML, YAML, or Doctrine Annotations
