+Whether to enable or not the serializer service in the service container. If enabled,
+the serializer will be loaded along with two encoders (:class:`Symfony\\Component\\Serializer\\Encoder\\JsonEncoder` 
+and :class:`Symfony\\Component\\Serializer\\Encoder\\XmlEncoder`)

+so you are required to load it under your responsability.

+You can load more normalizers and/or encoders by tagging them as ``serializer.encoder`` and
+``serializer.normalizer``. It's also possible to set the priority of the tag in order to decide the
+matching order.
