 Extends REST framework's `APIView` class, adding support for serialization of model instances and model querysets.
 
+**Attributes**:
+
+* `model` - The model that should be used for this view.  Used as a fallback for determining the serializer if `serializer_class` is not set, and as a fallback for determining the queryset if `queryset` is not set.  Otherwise not required.
+* `serializer_class` - The serializer class that should be used for validating and deserializing input, and for serializing output.  If unset, this defaults to creating a serializer class using `self.model`, with the `DEFAULT_MODEL_SERIALIZER_CLASS` setting as the base serializer class.

 ## MultipleObjectAPIView
 
 Provides a base view for acting on a single object, by combining REST framework's `APIView`, and Django's [MultipleObjectMixin].
 
 **See also:** ccbv.co.uk documentation for [MultipleObjectMixin][multiple-object-mixin-classy].
 
+**Attributes**:
+
+* `queryset` - The queryset that should be used for returning objects from this view.  If unset, defaults to the default queryset manager for `self.model`.
+* `paginate_by` - The size of pages to use with paginated data.  If set to `None` then pagination is turned off.  If unset this uses the same value as the `PAGINATE_BY` setting, which defaults to `None`.
+* `paginate_by_param` - The name of a query parameter, which can be used by the client to overide the default page size to use for pagination.  If unset this uses the same value as the `PAGINATE_BY_PARAM` setting, which defaults to `None`.
+
 ## SingleObjectAPIView
 
 Provides a base view for acting on a single object, by combining REST framework's `APIView`, and Django's [SingleObjectMixin].
 
 **See also:** ccbv.co.uk documentation for [SingleObjectMixin][single-object-mixin-classy].
 
+**Attributes**:
+
+* `queryset` - The queryset that should be used when retrieving an object from this view.  If unset, defaults to the default queryset manager for `self.model`.
+* `pk_kwarg` - The URL kwarg that should be used to look up objects by primary key. Defaults to `'pk'`. [Can only be set to non-default on Django 1.4+]
+* `slug_kwarg` - The URL kwarg that should be used to look up objects by a slug. Defaults to `'slug'`.  [Can only be set to non-default on Django 1.4+]
+* `slug_field` - The field on the model that should be used to look up objects by a slug.  If used, this should typically be set to a field with `unique=True`. Defaults to `'slug'`.

 Provides a `.list(request, *args, **kwargs)` method, that implements listing a queryset.
 
+If the queryset is populated, this returns a `200 OK` response, with a serialized representation of the queryset as the body of the response.  The response data may optionally be paginated.
+
+If the queryset is empty this returns a `200 OK` reponse, unless the `.allow_empty` attribute on the view is set to `False`, in which case it will return a `404 Not Found`.
+
 Should be mixed in with [MultipleObjectAPIView].
 
 ## CreateModelMixin
 
 Provides a `.create(request, *args, **kwargs)` method, that implements creating and saving a new model instance.
 
+If an object is created this returns a `201 Created` response, with a serialized representation of the object as the body of the response.  If the representation contains a key named `url`, then the `Location` header of the response will be populated with that value.
+
+If the request data provided for creating the object was invalid, a `400 Bad Request` response will be returned, with the error details as the body of the response.
+
 Should be mixed in with any [GenericAPIView].
 
 ## RetrieveModelMixin
 
 Provides a `.retrieve(request, *args, **kwargs)` method, that implements returning an existing model instance in a response.
 
+If an object can be retrieve this returns a `200 OK` response, with a serialized representation of the object as the body of the response.  Otherwise it will return a `404 Not Found`.
+
 Should be mixed in with [SingleObjectAPIView].
 
 ## UpdateModelMixin
 
 Provides a `.update(request, *args, **kwargs)` method, that implements updating and saving an existing model instance.
 
+If an object is updated this returns a `200 OK` response, with a serialized representation of the object as the body of the response.
+
+If an object is created, for example when making a `DELETE` request followed by a `PUT` request to the same URL, this returns a `201 Created` response, with a serialized representation of the object as the body of the response.
+
+If the request data provided for updating the object was invalid, a `400 Bad Request` response will be returned, with the error details as the body of the response.
+
 Should be mixed in with [SingleObjectAPIView].
 
 ## DestroyModelMixin
 
 Provides a `.destroy(request, *args, **kwargs)` method, that implements deletion of an existing model instance.
 
+If an object is deleted this returns a `204 No Content` response, otherwise it will return a `404 Not Found`.
+
 Should be mixed in with [SingleObjectAPIView].
