Register the event listener as a service:

<service id="kernel.event_listener.json_request_transformer" class="Qandidate\Common\Symfony\HttpKernel\EventListener\JsonRequestTransformerListener">
    <tag name="kernel.event_listener" event="kernel.request" method="onKernelRequest" priority="100" />

Example

A request with JSON content like:

{
  "foo": "bar"
}

will be decoded automatically so can access the foo property like:

echo $request->request->get('foo');
