+    The default normalization format for objects that implement :class:`Symfony\\Component\\Uid\\Uuid`
+    is the `RFC 4122`_ format (example: ``d9e7a184-5d5b-11ea-a62a-3499710062d0``).
+    The default normalization format for objects that implement :class:`Symfony\\Component\\Uid\\Ulid`
+    is the Base 32 format (example: ``01E439TP9XJZ9RPFH3T1PYBCR8``).
+    You can change the string format by setting the serializer context option

+    ``UidNormalizer::NORMALIZATION_FORMAT_BASE_32`` or ``UidNormalizer::NORMALIZATION_FORMAT_RFC_4122``.
