Images with API REST (Symfony + FosRestBundle)

I'm new with API REST and I have one question/problem.

Currently I have an API REST (FosRestBundle) with Symfony (2.8.1) and all is OK, I have a json response with an array with some data...one of this field is a image (in my backend I used VichUploaderBundle).

How I can do to send the image in json? I need to serialize the image? base64? JMSSerializer?

This is the correct way? Serialize the image and later, in the other client deserialize?

Thanks!!

Roger

the correct way is to just serve the link to the ressource

like: 

[
{
 bla: "blubb",
 img: "http://blubb.com/blubb.jpg"
},
{
 bla: "blubb1",
 img: "http://blubb.com/blubb1.jpg"
},
{
 bla: "blubb2",
 img: "http://blubb.com/blubb2.jpg"
}
]

and whatever then uses this data will call the URI to display the image
