 Adding Normalizers and Encoders

+Once enabled, the ``serializer`` service will be available in the container.
+It comes with a set of useful :ref:`encoders <component-serializer-encoders>`
+and :ref:`normalizers <component-serializer-normalizers>`.
 
-You can load normalizers and/or encoders by tagging them as
+Encoders supporting the following formats are enabled:
+
+* JSON: :class:`Symfony\\Component\\Serializer\\Encoder\\JsonEncoder`
+* XML: :class:`Symfony\\Component\\Serializer\\Encoder\\XmlEncoder`
+
+As well as the following normalizers:
+
+* :class:`Symfony\\Component\\Serializer\\Normalizer\\ObjectNormalizer` to
+  handle typical data objects
+* :class:`Symfony\\Component\\Serializer\\Normalizer\\DateTimeNormalizer` for
+  objects implementing the :class:`DateTimeInterface` interface
+* :class:`Symfony\\Component\\Serializer\\Normalizer\\DataUriNormalizer` to
+  transform :class:`SplFileInfo` objects in `Data URIs`_
+* :class:`Symfony\\Component\\Serializer\\Normalizer\\JsonSerializableNormalizer`
+  to deal with object implementing the :class:`JsonSerializable` interface
+* :class:`Symfony\\Component\\Serializer\\Normalizer\\ArrayDenormalizer` to
+  denormalize arrays of objects using a format like `MyObject[]` (note the `[]` suffix)
+
+Custom normalizers and/or encoders can also be loaded by tagging as
 :ref:`serializer.normalizer <reference-dic-tags-serializer-normalizer>` and
 :ref:`serializer.encoder <reference-dic-tags-serializer-encoder>`. It's also
 possible to set the priority of the tag in order to decide the matching order.
 
 Here is an example on how to load the
-:class:`Symfony\\Component\\Serializer\\Normalizer\\GetSetMethodNormalizer`:
+:class:`Symfony\\Component\\Serializer\\Normalizer\\GetSetMethodNormalizer`, a
+faster alternative to the `ObjectNormalizer` when data objects always use
+getters and setters:
