How can I implement nested serialization in Django REST Framework?

To implement nested serialization, you can create a serializer for the parent model and include the child serializer as a field.

Can you show me an example of how to do that?

Sure! First, define your models. For instance, if you have a Book model and an Author model, you can create serializers like this:

class AuthorSerializer(serializers.ModelSerializer):
    class Meta:
        model = Author
        fields = '__all__'

class BookSerializer(serializers.ModelSerializer):
    author = AuthorSerializer()  # Nested serialization

    class Meta:
        model = Book
        fields = '__all__'

What if I want to create or update the nested objects as well?

You can override the create and update methods in your BookSerializer to handle nested writes. You'll need to manually create or update the Author instances.
