+Renderers are used to serialize a View's output into specific media types.

+Django REST framework also provides HTML and PlainText renderers that help self-document the API,
+by serializing the output along with documentation regarding the View, output status and headers,
+and providing forms and links depending on the allowed methods, renderers and parsers on the View.
