I am trying to use the JMSSerializerBundle for Symfony3 (which just came out).

These are the namespaces I've loaded in my TestController.php

use JMS\Serializer\Serializer; use JMS\Serializer\SerializerBuilder; use JMS\Serializer\SerializationContext;

I've tried $data = $this->get('jms_serializer')->serialize($data, 'json'); where $data is just a simple object, but get the following error:

Attempted to call an undefined method named "get" of class "AppBundle\Controller\TestController"

I've also tried a usage example from the site $serializer = $container->get('jms_serializer');, but get Notice: Undefined variable: container

I am still new to Symfony3 and its bundles, and can't seem to find any documention on JMS Serializer for symfony 3

I can initialize it like this $serializer = SerializerBuilder::create()->build(); which allows me to call the serialize method, but I would like to know the correct "symfony way" of doing it.

If anyone can shed some knowledge, that would be great. Thanks!

in order to use container in your controller, your controller must extend Symfony\Bundle\FrameworkBundle\Controller\Controller or at least use Symfony\Component\DependencyInjection\ContainerAware,

anyway if you want to start developing in Symfony I suggest you to start reading error messages, in this specific case your errors are very clear.
