Serialize annotations

/**
 * @Bos\Serialize(group={"group-name"})
 */
class ClassToBeSerialized
{

Wrapper element

/**
 * @Bos\Serialize(wrapElement="SomeWrapperElement", group={"some_group"})
 * @Bos\Serialize(wrapElement="data", group={"other_group"})

class ClassToBeSerialized
{

/**
 * @Bos\Serialize(sortProperties=true)
 */
class ClassToBeSerialized
{
