"""
Interfaces for serializing Django objects.
Usage::
>>> from django.core import serializers
>>> json = serializers.serialize("json", some_query_set)
>>> objects = list(serializers.deserialize("json", json))
To add your own serializers, use the SERIALIZATION_MODULES setting::
SERIALIZATION_MODULES = {
"csv" : "path.to.csv.serializer",
"txt" : "path.to.txt.serializer",
}
