"""
Serializers and ModelSerializers are similar to Forms and ModelForms.
Unlike forms, they are not constrained to dealing with HTML output, and
form encoded input.
Serialization in REST framework is a two-phase process:
1. Serializers marshal between complex types like model instances, and
python primatives.
2. The process of marshalling between python primatives and request and
response content is handled by parsers and renderers.
