The serializers in REST framework work very similarly to Django's Form and ModelForm classes. We provide a Serializer class which gives you a powerful, generic way to control the output of your responses, as well as a ModelSerializer class which provides a useful shortcut for creating serializers that deal with model instances and querysets.

Declaring Serializers

Let's start by creating a simple object we can use for example purposes:

-
class Comment(object):
+
from datetime import datetime
+
+class Comment(object):
     def __init__(self, email, content, created=None):
         self.email = email
         self.content = content
-        self.created = created or datetime.datetime.now()
+        self.created = created or datetime.now()
 
 comment = Comment(email='leila@example.com', content='foo bar')

Deserializing objects

Deserialization is similar. First we parse a stream into Python native datatypes...

-
from StringIO import StringIO
+
from django.utils.six import BytesIO
 from rest_framework.parsers import JSONParser
 
-stream = StringIO(json)
+stream = BytesIO(json)
 data = JSONParser().parse(stream)
 

 
...then we restore those native datatypes into a dictionary of validated data.
