I tested the new MaxDepth annotation in the Symfony serializer (see #17113). Consider some code that extends the example code given in the pull request with more levels (4, 5, etc.). By keeping a max depth of 2, the result is the following:
'foo' => 'level1',
'child' =>
array (
'foo' => 'level2',
'child' =>
array (
'child' =>
array (
'child' =>
array (
'child' =>
array (
'child' => NULL,
),
),
),
),
),
)As you can see, it considers all child nodes and does not stop after the configured max depths. Only the data of the objects in deeper levels is excluded (attribute foo).
