I'm not sure what I'm missing, but I'm getting an empty object back from the Element API for the summary and/or body for any given entry.

elementapi.php

...
'transformer' => function (EntryModel $entry) {
    return [
        'title' => $entry->title,
        'url' => $entry->url,
        'summary' => $entry->summary
    ];
},
...

Here is the json I am getting back:

{"data":[{"title":"My Title","url":"http:\/\/local.mysite.dev\/section\/my-entry","summary":{}}

EDIT

Thank you again @Oliver!

I wanted to update my post in the event someone else came across it. I am using mustache.js to render my html from the json that is getting output via the ElementAPI.

By casting the summary as a string, you will need to tell mustache to parse the html by using three curly-brackets instead of the usual two.

mustache

<p>Title: {{title}}</p>
<p>URL: {{url}}</p>
{{{ summary }}}

Otherwise you will end up with something that looks like this:

Title: My Title
URL: www.mysite.com
<p>This is my summary</p>
