## What it is
A Python library providing writable nested model serializers for Django REST Framework, enabling creation and updates of models with related nested data. It supports OneToOne, ForeignKey, ManyToMany, and GenericRelation relations.

## Use cases
- create/update django models with nested related data in one request
- writable nested serializers for django rest framework
- save reverse foreign key relations through a parent serializer
- handle one-to-one and many-to-many nested writes in DRF
- avoid manually overriding create and update for nested serializers

## When to choose
- you use Django REST Framework and need to persist nested related objects in a single API call
- your API payloads include nested representations of related models that must be created or updated together

## When to avoid
- you don't use Django or Django REST Framework
- you only need read-only nested serialization, which DRF supports natively
- you need m2m relations with through models, which are not supported

- artifact type: library
