-**Note**: Nested serializers are only suitable for read-only representations, as there are cases where they would have ambiguous or non-obvious behavior if used when updating instances.  For read-write representations you should always use a flat representation, by using one of the `RelatedField` subclasses.

 ## Specifying which fields should be read-only 
 
 You may wish to specify multiple fields as read-only.  Instead of adding each field explicitly with the `read_only=True` attribute, you may use the `read_only_fields` Meta option, like so:
