**TODO**: Describe content negotiation style used by REST framework.
## Custom content negotiation
It's unlikley that you'll want to provide a custom content negotiation scheme for REST framework, but you can do so if needed. To implement a custom content negotiation scheme, override `BaseContentNegotiation`, and implement the `.select_parser(request, parsers)` and `.select_renderer(request, renderers, format_suffix)`
