How do I use serializers in Django?

In Django, serializers are used to convert complex data types, like querysets and model instances, into native Python data types.

Can you show me an example of a serializer?

Sure! Here's a simple example:

from rest_framework import serializers
from .models import MyModel

class MyModelSerializer(serializers.ModelSerializer):
    class Meta:
        model = MyModel
        fields = '__all__'

What are the different types of serializers available?

Django REST Framework provides several types of serializers, including ModelSerializer, Serializer, and HyperlinkedModelSerializer.

How do I validate data using serializers?

You can add validation methods in your serializer class by overriding the validate_<field_name> method or the validate method for overall validation.
