"""
The most important decorator in this module is `@api_view`, which is used
for writing function-based views with REST framework.

There are also various decorators for setting the API policies on function
based views, as well as the `@detail_route` and `@list_route` decorators, which are
used to annotate methods on viewsets that should be included by routers.
