In terms of ""information scent"", the page is a natural search result for [http://www.google.com/search?sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8&q=django+serialization django serialization] which people could find if they are looking how to serialize JSON-like data for Ajax use. Ideally that page should cross-reference, or possibly contain, how to do basic serialization to JSON for constructions from strings/numbers/hashes/lists, particularly as what you get from serializers.get_serializer('json')() has an allergic response to being asked to serialize non-iterable data.
