+During Deserialization

+PHP considers many different values as true or false. For example, the
+strings ``true``, ``1``, and ``yes`` are considered true, while
+``false``, ``0``, and ``no`` are considered false.
+
+When deserializing, the Serializer component can take care of this
+automatically. This can be done by using the ``AbstractNormalizer::FILTER_BOOL``
+context option::
+
+    use Acme\Person;
+    use Symfony\Component\Serializer\Normalizer\AbstractNormalizer;
+    use Symfony\Component\Serializer\Normalizer\ObjectNormalizer;
+    use Symfony\Component\Serializer\Serializer;
+
+    $normalizer = new ObjectNormalizer();
+    $serializer = new Serializer([$normalizer]);
+
+    $data = $serializer->denormalize(['sportsperson' => 'yes'], Person::class, context: [AbstractNormalizer::FILTER_BOOL => true]);
+
+This context makes the deserialization process behave like the
+:phpfunction:`filter_var` function with the ``FILTER_VALIDATE_BOOL`` flag.

+    The ``AbstractNormalizer::FILTER_BOOL`` context option was introduced in Symfony 7.1.
