        {
            $this->sportsman = $sportsman;
        }
    }

 Now, if you want to serialize this object into JSON, you only need to
    $person = new Acme\Person();
    $person->setName('foo');
    $person->setAge(99);
    $person->setSportsman(false);

    $jsonContent = $serializer->serialize($person, 'json');

    // $jsonContent contains {"name":"foo","age":99}
    // $jsonContent contains {"name":"foo","age":99,"sportsman":false}

    echo $jsonContent; // or return it in a Response

    $encoder = new JsonEncoder();

    $serializer = new Serializer(array($normalizer), array($encoder));
    $serializer->serialize($person, 'json'); // Output: {"name":"foo"}
    $serializer->serialize($person, 'json'); // Output: {"name":"foo","sportsman":false}

 Deserializing an Object
 -----------------------
    <person>
        <name>foo</name>
        <age>99</age>
        <sportsman>false</sportsman>
    </person>
    EOF;

 As a final result, the deserializer uses the ``first_name`` attribute as if
 it were ``firstName`` and uses the ``getFirstName`` and ``setFirstName`` methods.

 Serializing Boolean Attributes
 ------------------------------

 .. versionadded:: 2.5
    Support for ``is*`` accessors in
    :class:`Symfony\\Component\\Serializer\\Normalizer\\GetSetMethodNormalizer`
    was introduced in Symfony 2.5.

 If you are using isser methods (methods prefixed by ``is``, like
 ``Acme\Person::isSportsman()``), the Serializer component will automatically
 detect and use it to serialize related attributes.

It's a detail, but as there is only one isser, couldn't it be singular?
