+# Alternate schema formats
+
+In order to support an alternate schema format, you need to implement a custom renderer
+class that handles converting a `Document` instance into a bytestring representation.
+
+If there is a Core API codec package that supports encoding into the format you
+want to use then implementing the renderer class can be done by using the codec.
+
+## Example
+
+For example, the `openapi_codec` package provides support for encoding or decoding
+to the Open API ("Swagger") format:
+
+    from rest_framework import renderers
+    from openapi_codec import OpenAPICodec

+    class SwaggerRenderer(renderers.BaseRenderer):
