+<p>&mdash; <a href="http://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0020/">The Zen of Python</a></p>
+</blockquote>
+<p>Configuration for REST framework is all namespaced inside a single Django setting, named <code>REST_FRAMEWORK</code>.</p>
+<p>For example your project's <code>settings.py</code> file might include something like this:</p>
+<pre><code>REST_FRAMEWORK = {
+ 'DEFAULT_RENDERER_CLASSES': (
+ 'rest_framework.renderers.YAMLRenderer',
+ ),
+ 'DEFAULT_PARSER_CLASSES': (
+ 'rest_framework.parsers.YAMLParser',
+ )
+}
+</code></pre>
+<h2 id="accessing-settings">Accessing settings</h2>
+<p>If you need to access the values of REST framework's API settings in your project,
+you should use the <code>api_settings</code> object. For example.</p>
+<pre><code>from rest_framework.settings import api_settings
+
+print api_settings.DEFAULT_AUTHENTICATION_CLASSES
+</code></pre>
+<p>The <code>api_settings</code> object will check for any user-defined settings, and otherwise fall back to the default values. Any setting that uses string import paths to refer to a class will automatically import and return the referenced class, instead of the string literal.</p>
+<hr />
+<h1 id="api-reference">API Reference</h1>
+<h2 id="api-policy-settings">API policy settings</h2>
+<p><em>The following settings control the basic API policies, and are applied to every <code>APIView</code> class based view, or <code>@api_view</code> function based view.</em></p>

+<h4 id="default_authentication_classes">DEFAULT_AUTHENTICATION_CLASSES</h4>
+<p>A list or tuple of authentication classes, that determines the default set of authenticators used when accessing the <code>request.user</code> or <code>request.auth</code> properties.</p>
+<p>Default:</p>
+<pre><code>(
+ 'rest_framework.authentication.SessionAuthentication',
+ 'rest_framework.authentication.BasicAuthentication'
+)
+</code></pre>
+<h4 id="default_permission_classes">DEFAULT_PERMISSION_CLASSES</h4>
+<p>A list or tuple of permission classes, that determines the default set of permissions checked at the start of a view. Permission must be granted by every class in the list.</p>
+<p>Default:</p>
+<pre><code>(
+ 'rest_framework.permissions.AllowAny',
+)
+</code></pre>
+<h4 id="default_throttle_classes">DEFAULT_THROTTLE_CLASSES</h4>
+<p>A list or tuple of throttle classes, that determines the default set of throttles checked at the start of a view.</p>

+<pre><code>REST_FRAMEWORK = {
+ 'PAGINATE_BY': 10,
+ 'PAGINATE_BY_PARAM': 'page_size',
+}
+</code></pre>
+<p>A client would be able to modify the pagination size by using the <code>page_size</code> query parameter. For example:</p>
+<pre><code>GET http://example.com/api/accounts?page_size=25
+</code></pre>
+<p>Default: <code>None</code></p>
+<h4 id="max_paginate_by">MAX_PAGINATE_BY</h4>
+<p>The maximum page size to allow when the page size is specified by the client. If set to <code>None</code>, then no maximum limit is applied.</p>

+ 'PAGINATE_BY_PARAM': 'page_size',
+ 'MAX_PAGINATE_BY': 100
+}
+</code></pre>
+<p>A client request like the following would return a paginated list of up to 100 items.</p>
+<pre><code>GET http://example.com/api/accounts?page_size=999
+</code></pre>
+<p>Default: <code>None</code></p>

+</code></pre>
+<p>Both styles conform to <a href="http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc4627.txt">RFC 4627</a>, and are syntactically valid JSON. The unicode style is preferred as being more user-friendly when inspecting API responses.</p>
+<p>Default: <code>True</code></p>
+<h4 id="compact_json">COMPACT_JSON</h4>
+<p>When set to <code>True</code>, JSON responses will return compact representations, with no spacing after <code>':'</code> and <code>','</code> characters. For example:</p>
+<pre><code>{"is_admin":false,"email":"jane@example"}
+</code></pre>
+<p>When set to <code>False</code>, JSON responses will return slightly more verbose representations, like so:</p>
+<pre><code>{"is_admin": false, "email": "jane@example"}
+</code></pre>
+<p>The default style is to return minified responses, in line with <a href="https://github.com/interagent/http-api-design#keep-json-minified-in-all-responses">Heroku's API design guidelines</a>.</p>
+<p>Default: <code>True</code></p>
+<h4 id="coerce_decimal_to_string">COERCE_DECIMAL_TO_STRING</h4>
+<p>When returning decimal objects in API representations that do not support a native decimal type, it is normally best to return the value as a string. This avoids the loss of precision that occurs with binary floating point implementations.</p>
+<p>When set to <code>True</code>, the serializer <code>DecimalField</code> class will return strings instead of <code>Decimal</code> objects. When set to <code>False</code>, serializers will return <code>Decimal</code> objects, which the default JSON encoder will return as floats.</p>
+<p>Default: <code>True</code></p>
+<hr />
+<h2 id="view-names-and-descriptions">View names and descriptions</h2>
+<p><strong>The following settings are used to generate the view names and descriptions, as used in responses to <code>OPTIONS</code> requests, and as used in the browsable API.</strong></p>
+<h4 id="view_name_function">VIEW_NAME_FUNCTION</h4>
+<p>A string representing the function that should be used when generating view names.</p>
+<p>This should be a function with the following signature:</p>
+<pre><code>view_name(cls, suffix=None)
+</code></pre>
+<ul>
+<li><code>cls</code>: The view class. Typically the name function would inspect the name of the class when generating a descriptive name, by accessing <code>cls.__name__</code>.</li>
+<li><code>suffix</code>: The optional suffix used when differentiating individual views in a viewset.</li>
+</ul>
+<p>Default: <code>'rest_framework.views.get_view_name'</code></p>
+<h4 id="view_description_function">VIEW_DESCRIPTION_FUNCTION</h4>
+<p>A string representing the function that should be used when generating view descriptions.</p>
+<p>This setting can be changed to support markup styles other than the default markdown. For example, you can use it to support <code>rst</code> markup in your view docstrings being output in the browsable API.</p>
+<p>This should be a function with the following signature:</p>
+<pre><code>view_description(cls, html=False)
+</code></pre>
+<ul>
+<li><code>cls</code>: The view class. Typically the description function would inspect the docstring of the class when generating a description, by accessing <code>cls.__doc__</code></li>
+<li><code>html</code>: A boolean indicating if HTML output is required. <code>True</code> when used in the browsable API, and <code>False</code> when used in generating <code>OPTIONS</code> responses.</li>
+</ul>
+<p>Default: <code>'rest_framework.views.get_view_description'</code></p>
+<hr />
+<h2 id="miscellaneous-settings">Miscellaneous settings</h2>
+<h4 id="exception_handler">EXCEPTION_HANDLER</h4>
+<p>A string representing the function that should be used when returning a response for any given exception. If the function returns <code>None</code>, a 500 error will be raised.</p>
+<p>This setting can be changed to support error responses other than the default <code>{"detail": "Failure..."}</code> responses. For example, you can use it to provide API responses like <code>{"errors": [{"message": "Failure...", "code": ""} ...]}</code>.</p>
+<p>This should be a function with the following signature:</p>
+<pre><code>exception_handler(exc)
+</code></pre>
+<ul>
+<li><code>exc</code>: The exception.</li>
+</ul>
+<p>Default: <code>'rest_framework.views.exception_handler'</code></p>
+<h4 id="non_field_errors_key">NON_FIELD_ERRORS_KEY</h4>
+<p>A string representing the key that should be used for serializer errors that do not refer to a specific field, but are instead general errors.</p>
+<p>Default: <code>'non_field_errors'</code></p>
+<h4 id="url_field_name">URL_FIELD_NAME</h4>
+<p>A string representing the key that should be used for the URL fields generated by <code>HyperlinkedModelSerializer</code>.</p>
+<p>Default: <code>'url'</code></p>
+<h4 id="format_suffix_kwarg">FORMAT_SUFFIX_KWARG</h4>
+<p>The name of a parameter in the URL conf that may be used to provide a format suffix.</p>
+<p>Default: <code>'format'</code></p>
+<h4 id="num_proxies">NUM_PROXIES</h4>
+<p>An integer of 0 or more, that may be used to specify the number of application proxies that the API runs behind. This allows throttling to more accurately identify client IP addresses. If set to <code>None</code> then less strict IP matching will be used by the throttle classes.</p>
+<p>Default: <code>None</code></p>
