This is EXACTLY what I was looking for. Obviously, I need to work on my internet searching skills :/ Turns out things were fairly simple to do and I implemented what I needed anyways, but this is obviously a bit cleaner so I will plug in one of these. Essentially, a GeoJSON Serializer is what I was looking for, and these give me exactly that :) > You might also try searching the REST framework issue list as it's likely > either or both of these were at some point discussed there. > Also try searching the archives for the REST framework discussion group, > here: > > https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/django-rest-framework > Yea, I saw their google forum link after I sent my mail here as well. My apologies for not hunting enough before asking here. Thanks again, and if folks from the django rest framework team are reading this - you guys rock, it's been a pleasure to get into. > Hope that helps! > Tremendously!
