REST framework includes a `PaginationSerializer` class that makes it easy to return paginated data in a way that can then be rendered to arbitrary media types.
## Examples
## Paginating basic data
Let's start by taking a look at an example from the Django documentation.

We could now return that data in a `Response` object, and it would be rendered into the correct media type.
## Paginating QuerySets
Our first example worked because we were using primative objects. If we wanted to paginate a queryset or other complex data, we'd need to specify a serializer to use to serialize the result set itself with.

For more complex requirements such as serialization that differs depending on the requested media type you can override the `.get_paginate_by()` and `.get_pagination_serializer_class()` methods.
## Creating custom pagination serializers

class LinksSerializer(serializers.Serializer):
next = pagination.NextURLField(source='*')
prev = pagination.PreviousURLField(source='*')
class CustomPaginationSerializer(pagination.BasePaginationSerializer):
next = pagination.NextURLField()
links = LinksSerializer(source='*') # Takes the page object as the source
total_results = serializers.Field(source='paginator.count')
