Django-rest-easy provides base classes for API views and serializers.

To leverage the QOL features of django-rest-easy, you should use the followint base classes for your serializers:

* :class:`rest_easy.serializers.Serializer`
* :class:`rest_easy.serializers.ModelSerializer`

And if it's model-based, it should use one of the base views provided in the :mod:`rest_easy.views`
module - preferably :class:`rest_easy.views.ModelViewSet` or :class:`rest_easy.views.ReadOnlyModelViewSet`.

As a baseline, all responses using django-rest-easy extension will contain top-level model and schema fields.

Guidelines regarding schemas are as usual: they have to be 100% backwards compatible. In the case of breaking changes,
a serializer with new schema should be created, and the old one slowly faded away - and removed only when no
applications use it - or when it's decided that the feature can't be supported anymore.

An alternative to multi-version fadeout is single-version fadeout, where the change is implemented as a set of
acceptable changes (that is, you can remove the old field only when all clients stop using it - even if it means
sending duplicate data for quite some time).

The classes from this module don't disable any behaviour inherent to Django Rest Framework - anything that is possible
there will be possible with the django-rest-easy base classes.

Django Rest Easy uses following settings:

* REST_EASY_AUTOIMPORT_SERIALIZERS_FROM - for autoimporting serializers.
* REST_EASY_VIEW_BASES - for prepending bases to all views declared in django-rest-easy. They will end up before
  all base views, either DRF's or django-rest-easy's, but after generic mixins in the final generic view mro.
  So in :class:`rest_easy.views.GenericAPIView` and :class:`rest_easy.views.GenericAPIViewSet` they will be at the
  very beginning of the mro, but everything declared in generic mixins, like DRF's CreateMixin, will override that.
* REST_EASY_GENERIC_VIEW_MIXINS - for prepending bases to generic views. They will end up at the beginning of mro
  of all generic views available in django-rest-easy. This can be used to make views add parameters when doing
  perform_update() or perform_create().
* REST_EASY_SERIALIZER_CONFLICT_POLICY - what happens when serializer with same model and schema is redefined. Defaults
  to 'allow', can also be 'raise' - in the former case the new serializer will replace the old one. Allow is used
  to make sure that any import craziness is not creating issues by default.
