+#### Printable serializer reprensentations.
+
+Serializer instances now support a printable representation that allows you to inspect the fields present on the instance.
+
+For instance, given the following example model:
+
+    class LocationRating(models.Model):
+        location = models.CharField(max_length=100)
+        rating = models.IntegerField()
+        created_by = models.ForeignKey(User)

+Let's create a simple `ModelSerializer` class c.
+
+    class LocationRatingSerializer(serializer.ModelSerializer):
+        class Meta:
+            model = LocationRating
+
+We can now inspect its representation in the Django shell, using `python manage.py shell`...
+
+    >>> serializer = LocationRatingSerializer()
+    >>> print(serializer)  # Or use `print serializer` in Python 2.x
+    LocationRatingSerializer():

+        rating = IntegerField()
+        created_by = PrimaryKeyRelatedField(queryset=User.objects.all())
