You can customize serializers in Django by creating a subclass of serializers.Serializer and overriding its methods.

Can you give me an example of overriding to_representation?

Sure! Here's a simple example:

class CustomSerializer(serializers.Serializer):
    name = serializers.CharField()
    age = serializers.IntegerField()

    def to_representation(self, instance):
        representation = super().to_representation(instance)
        representation['is_adult'] = instance.age >= 18
        return representation

That makes sense! How do I handle validation in a custom serializer?

MagicBuddy
MagicBuddy

You can handle validation by overriding the validate method or by using field-level validation methods like validate_<field_name>.
