This gives a cleaner separation, and ensures that there's no automatic validation behaviour on `ModelSerializer` classes that can't also be easily replicated on regular `Serializer` classes. -This change comes with the following limitations: - -* The model `.clean()` method will not be called as part of serializer validation. Use the serializer `.validate()` method to perform a final validation step on incoming data where required. -* The `.unique_for_date`, `.unique_for_month` and `.unique_for_year` options on model fields are not automatically validated. Again, you'll need to handle these explicitly on the serializer if required. +It's important to note that this change also means that the model `.clean()` method will not be called as part of serializer validation, as it would be if using a `ModelForm`.
