# JWE serializers

## JWE Serializer Manager Factory Service

A `JWESerializerManagerFactory` is available as a service in your application container:

```php
<?php
use Jose\Component\Encryption\JWESerializerManagerFactory;

$jweSerializerManagerFactory = $container->get(JWESerializerManagerFactory::class);
```

With this factory, you will be able to create the JWESerializerManager you need:

```php
$jweSerializerManager = $jweSerializerManagerFactory->create(['jwe_compact']);
```

You can now use the JWESerializerManager as explained in the JWE Creation/Loading section.

Available JWE serialization modes are:

* `jwe_compact`
* `jwe_json_general`
* `jwe_json_flattened`

## JWE Serializer Manager As Service

There is also another way to create a JWESerializerManager object: using the bundle configuration.

```yaml
jose:
    jwe:
        serializers:
            serializer1:
                serializers: ['jwe_compact']
                is_public: true
```

With the previous configuration, the bundle will create a public JWE Serializer Manager service named `jose.jwe_serializer.serializer1` with selected serialization modes.

```php
<?php
$jweSerializerManager = $container->get('jose.jwe_serializer.serializer1');
```

## Custom Tags

You can add custom tags and attributes to the services you create.

```yaml
jose:
    jwe:
        serializers:
            serializer1:
                serializers: ['jwe_compact']
                tags:
                    tag_name1: ~
                    tag_name2: {attribute1: 'foo'}
```

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://web-token.spomky-labs.com/3.2/the-symfony-bundle/encrypted-tokens/jwe-serializers.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
