Recursive Serialization for Django REST framework

This package provides a RecursiveField that enables you to serialize a tree, linked list, or even a directed acyclic graph. Also supports validation, deserialization, ModelSerializers, and multi-step recursive structures.

from rest_framework import serializers
from rest_framework_recursive.fields import RecursiveField

class TreeSerializer(serializers.Serializer):
    name = serializers.CharField()
    children = serializers.ListField(child=RecursiveField())
