+Interfaces for serializing Django objects.
+
+Usage::

+    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",
