I want to configure the default exclution policy

[Nyholm]

Is that feature of any interest? I want to have full control of what is going to be serialized.

You can set your own exclusion policy already:

$serializer->serialize($data, 'json', SerializationContext::create()->setExclusionPolicy($yourPolicy));

I'm using this bundle with FosRestBundle. If I serialize an object and its referring objects I want to control what is being printed to the Rest clients. My current solution is to write @ExclusionPolicy("all") on each entity and then use @expose on the properties I want to expose.

The problem is when a developer forgets about the API and creates a new relation between two objects A and B where A is a part of the Rest API. Now will all properties of B be exposed.

Therefore I wish to have a setting in config.yml with the default exclusion policy. If I look at the driver (ie JMS\Serializer\Metadata\Driver\YamalDriver line 45) you have hard coded the exclusion policy to be 'NONE'.

I could make the change myself and do a pull request if you like.

I see. This has been suggested before, see schmittjoh/JMSSerializerBundle#159
