class HyperlinkedModelSerializer

from rest_framework.serializers import HyperlinkedModelSerializer
    A type of `ModelSerializer` that uses hyperlinked relationships instead
    of primary key relationships. Specifically:

    * A 'url' field is included instead of the 'id' field.
    * Relationships to other instances are hyperlinks, instead of primary keys.
