Extended Django Serializer Module
=================================

The wadofstuff.django.serializers python module extends Django's built-in
serializers, adding 3 new capabilities inspired by the Ruby on Rails JSON
serializer. These parameters allow the developer more control over how their
models are serialized.

The additional capabilities are:

- excludes - a list of fields to be excluded from serialization. The
excludes list takes precedence over the fields argument.
- extras - a list of non-model field properties or callables to be
serialized.
- relations - a list or dictionary of model related fields to be followed
and serialized.

Example of serializing a relation
---------------------------------

>>> serializers.serialize('json', Group.objects.all(), indent=4, relations=('permissions',))
[
{
"pk": 2,
"model": "auth.group",
"fields": {
"name": "session",
"permissions": [
{
"pk": 19,
"model": "auth.permission",
"fields": {
"codename": "add_session",
"name": "Can add session",
"content_type": 7
}
}
]
}
}
]
