+## Serializer Filters
+
+### Group Filter
+
+The group filter allows you to filter by serialization groups.
+
+Syntax: `?groups[]=<group>`
+
+You can add as many groups as you need.
+
+Enable the filter:
+
+```yaml
+# app/config/services.yml
+
+services:
+    book.group_filter:
+        parent: 'api_platform.serializer.group_filter'
+        arguments:     # Default arguments values
+            - 'groups' # The query parameter name
+            - false    # Allow to override the default serialization groups
+        tags:   [ { name: 'api_platform.filter', id: 'book.group' } ]
+```
+
+```php
+<?php
+
+// src/AppBundle/Entity/Book.php
+
+namespace AppBundle\Entity;
+
+use ApiPlatform\Core\Annotation\ApiResource;
+
+/**
+ * @ApiResource(attributes={"filters"={"book.group"}})
+ */
+class Book
+{
+    // ...
+}
+```
+
+Given that the collection endpoint is `/books`, you can filter by serialization groups with the following query: `/books?groups[]=read&groups[]=write`.
+
+By default the query parameter name is `groups` but you can easily customize it to another by changing the first argument.
+For example, with `serialization_groups` as name:
+
+```yaml
+# app/config/services.yml
+
+services:
+    book.group_filter:
+        parent:    'api_platform.serializer.group_filter'
+        arguments: [ 'serialization_groups' ]
+        tags:      [ { name: 'api_platform.filter', id: 'book.group' } ]
+```
+
+You can also override the default serialization groups when you use the filter by changing the second argument to
+`true`:
+
+```yaml
+# app/config/services.yml
+
+services:
+    book.group_filter:
+        parent:    'api_platform.serializer.group_filter'
+        arguments: [ 'groups', true ]
+        tags:      [ { name: 'api_platform.filter', id: 'book.group' } ]
+```
+
+### Property filter
+
+The property filter add the possibility to filter serialization properties.
+
+Syntax: `?properties[]=<property>`
+
+You can add as many properties as you need.
+
+Enable the filter:
+
+```yaml
+# app/config/services.yml
+
+services:
+    book.property_filter:
+        parent: 'api_platform.serializer.property_filter'
+        arguments:         # Default arguments values
+            - 'properties' # The query parameter name
+            - false        # Allow to override the default serialization properties
+        tags:   [ { name: 'api_platform.filter', id: 'book.property' } ]
+```
+
+```php
+<?php
+
+// src/AppBundle/Entity/Book.php
+
+namespace AppBundle\Entity;
+
+use ApiPlatform\Core\Annotation\ApiResource;
+
+/**
+ * @ApiResource(attributes={"filters"={"book.property"}})
+ */
+class Book
+{
+    // ...
+}
+```
+
+Given that the collection endpoint is `/books`, you can filter the serialization properties with the following query: `/books?properties[]=title&properties[]=author`.
+
+By default the query parameter name is `properties` but you can easily customize it to another by changing the first argument.
+For example, with `serialization_properties` as name:
+
+```yaml
+# app/config/services.yml
+
+services:
+    book.property_filter:
+        parent:    'api_platform.serializer.property_filter'
+        arguments: [ 'serialization_properties' ]
+        tags:      [ { name: 'api_platform.filter', id: 'book.property' } ]
+```
+
+You can also override the default serialization properties when you use the filter by changing the second argument to
+`true`:
+
+```yaml
+# app/config/services.yml
+
+services:
+    book.property_filter:
+        parent:    'api_platform.serializer.property_filter'
+        arguments: [ 'properties', true ]
+        tags:      [ { name: 'api_platform.filter', id: 'book.property' } ]
