create REST webservices in Symfony 2.0

Question

I am planning to create application which has a database built into MySQL and to access those data i am planning to create REST webservices which returns the data in JSON , so that it can be easily access from JQuery Client.

Moreover , i have installed Symfony 2.0 successfully , as i am new to this framework , i don't know how can i create REST webservices from database.

so can anyone suggest me or give me a road map to kick start with a development of Rest Webservices in symfony.

If any one has some batter solution to create webservice in PHP then please suggest

Do you really need the full stack Symfony 2.0 for this project? Maybe you can have a look at Silex which it builds ont top of Symfony 2 Components. It's really fast to built an api with it ! — j0k

FOSRestBundle is a good place to start - https://github.com/FriendsOfSymfony/FOSRestBundle

Depends on what you want. Symfony2 is a full fledged stack with authorization/authentication, ORM, templating, etc. If you do not need all that, then silex is a lightweight alternative. And scalability is something only you can determine depending on your setup.

In addition to prepare the RESTfull API via FOSRestBundle you can use Symfony Forms to validate and process the input data
