# Settings
Configuration for REST framework is all namespaced inside the `API_SETTINGS` setting.
For example your project's `settings.py` file might look like this:
API_SETTINGS = {
'DEFAULT_RENDERERS': (
'djangorestframework.renderers.YAMLRenderer',
)
'DEFAULT_PARSERS': (
'djangorestframework.parsers.YAMLParser',
)
}
## Accessing settings
If you need to access the values of REST framework's API settings in your project,
you should use the `api_settings` object. For example.
from djangorestframework.settings import api_settings
print api_settings.DEFAULT_AUTHENTICATION
The `api_settings` object will check for any user-defined settings, and otherwise fallback to the default values. Any setting that uses string import paths to refer to a class will automatically import and return the referenced class, instead of the string literal.
## DEFAULT_RENDERERS
A list or tuple of renderer classes, that determines the default set of renderers that may be used when returning a `Response` object.
Default:
(
'djangorestframework.renderers.JSONRenderer',
'djangorestframework.renderers.DocumentingHTMLRenderer'
'djangorestframework.renderers.TemplateHTMLRenderer'
)
## DEFAULT_PARSERS
A list or tuple of parser classes, that determines the default set of parsers used when accessing the `request.DATA` property.
Default:
(
'djangorestframework.parsers.JSONParser',
'djangorestframework.parsers.FormParser'
)
## DEFAULT_AUTHENTICATION
A list or tuple of authentication classes, that determines the default set of authenticators used when accessing the `request.user` or `request.auth` properties.
Default:
(
'djangorestframework.authentication.SessionAuthentication',
'djangorestframework.authentication.UserBasicAuthentication'
)
## DEFAULT_PERMISSIONS
A list or tuple of permission classes, that determines the default set of permissions checked at the start of a view.
Default: `()`
## DEFAULT_THROTTLES
A list or tuple of throttle classes, that determines the default set of throttles checked at the start of a view.
Default: `()`
## DEFAULT_MODEL_SERIALIZER

## FORM_CONTENTTYPE_OVERRIDE
