+"""
+Settings for REST framework are all namespaced in the REST_FRAMEWORK setting.
+For example your project's `settings.py` file might look like this:
+
+REST_FRAMEWORK = {
+    'DEFAULT_RENDERER_CLASSES': (
+        'rest_framework.renderers.JSONRenderer',
+        'rest_framework.renderers.YAMLRenderer',
+    )
+    'DEFAULT_PARSER_CLASSES': (
+        'rest_framework.parsers.JSONParser',
+        'rest_framework.parsers.YAMLParser',
+    )
+}
+
+This module provides the `api_setting` object, that is used to access
+REST framework settings, checking for user settings first, then falling
+back to the defaults.
