django-rest-framework/rest_framework/settings.py

"""
Settings for REST framework are all namespaced in the REST_FRAMEWORK setting.
For example your project's `settings.py` file might look like this:

REST_FRAMEWORK = {
    'DEFAULT_RENDERER_CLASSES': (
        'rest_framework.renderers.JSONRenderer',
        'rest_framework.renderers.YAMLRenderer',
    )
    'DEFAULT_PARSER_CLASSES': (
        'rest_framework.parsers.JSONParser',
        'rest_framework.parsers.YAMLParser',
    )
}

This module provides the `api_setting` object, that is used to access
REST framework settings, checking for user settings first, then falling
back to the defaults.
