title Best practice
Excerpt The delegating transformers classes should be your first choice since they are the most versatile. If you can, use DelegatingCompositeFieldTransformer or DelegatingMultiValueFieldTransformer rather than the other available classes.

Which transformer should I use?

• I have a multi-value field with a simple field inside (e.g. text, single-select, date, link): all multi-value transformers may be used.
• I have a multi-value field with a complex field inside (e.g. composite, switchable, multi-selection, or any other field with a custom transformerClass): only delegating transformers should be used (same goes for nested composite & switchable fields).
