How do I handle nested serialization in Django REST Framework?

To handle nested serialization in Django REST Framework, you can create nested serializers for your models. This allows you to serialize related objects.

Can you show me an example of a nested serializer?

Sure! If you have a Book model with a foreign key to an Author, you can create an AuthorSerializer and then use it in your BookSerializer.

What if I want to create or update nested objects?

You can override the create and update methods in your parent serializer to handle the nested objects accordingly.

Are there any performance considerations I should be aware of?

Yes, nested serialization can lead to performance issues if not handled properly. Consider using select_related or prefetch_related to optimize database queries.
