"""Emitters are used to serialize a Resource's output into specific media types.
django-rest-framework also provides HTML and PlainText emitters that help self-document the API,
by serializing the output along with documentation regarding the Resource, output status and headers,
and providing forms and links depending on the allowed methods, emitters and parsers on the Resource.
