+When an item is stored in the cache, it is serialised to a string. It is a class
+implementing :class:`Symfony\\Component\\Cache\\Marshaller\\MarshallerInterface`
+that is responsible for serializing and unserializing. Or to be technically correct:
+to ``marshall()`` and to ``unmarshall()``.
+
+The :class:`Symfony\\Component\\Cache\\Marshaller\\DefaultMarshaller` is using PHP's
+``serialize()`` or ``igbinary_serialize()`` if the Igbinary extension is installed.
+There are other marshallers that will encrypt or compress the data before storing it::

+    use Symfony\Component\Cache\Adapter\RedisAdapter;
+    use Symfony\Component\Cache\DefaultMarshaller;
+    use Symfony\Component\Cache\DeflateMarshaller;
+
+    $marshaller = new DeflateMarshaller(new DefaultMarshaller());
+    $cache = new RedisAdapter(new \Redis(), 'namespace', 0, $marshaller);
