caching\Cache $serializer

The functions used to serialize and unserialize cached data. Defaults to null, meaning using the default PHP serialize() and unserialize() functions. If you want to use some more efficient serializer (e.g. igbinary), you may configure this property with a two-element array. The first element specifies the serialization function, and the second the deserialization function. If this property is set false, data will be directly sent to and retrieved from the underlying cache component without any serialization or deserialization. You should not turn off serialization if you are using cache dependency, because it relies on data serialization. Also, some implementations of the cache can not correctly save and retrieve data different from a string type.
