Entity object to array

I'm trying to convert an entity to a associative array.
It seems that the method toArray() is not available for entity objects.

Reading Symfony doc, it seems I should use the SerializerInterface.
After enabling it, I can't seems to find the right syntax to convert my entity into an associative array.

Can someone correct my code please?

use Symfony\Component\Serializer\Normalizer\ObjectNormalizer;
use Symfony\Component\Serializer\SerializerInterface;

// -----------------------

public function salleAction(Request $request, Projet $projet, SerializerInterface $serializer) {
    return this->json(array(
        'projet'=>$serializer->serialize($projet, new ObjectNormalizer())
    ));
}

With the code above, I'm getting this error message

Warning: Illegal offset type in isset or empty

If I replace new ObjectNormalizer() by 'jsons', I'm getting the next error message:

A circular reference has been detected when serializing the object of class "AppBundle\Entity\Projet" (configured limit: 1)

I suggest you to add the following method to an object, that needs to be converted

public function toArray()
{
    return get_object_vars($this);
}

and use it everywhere $array = $projet->toArray();
