If you have a Django model and you want to turn it into a JSON string, your options are:
1. Put it in a list, serialize the list with `django.core.serializers.serialize`, parse the list as JSON, get the first element from the list, JSON-stringify the resulting dict.
2. If you're using django-rest-framework (which I am), you can create a serializer class that inherits from serializers.ModelSerializer and has a child class called Meta with a `model` property that points to the Model and a `fields` property set to `__all__`. You can then serialize an instance of that model by creating an instance of the serializer class with the model instance that you want to serialize as an argument to constructor. You can then JSON-stringify this object.
For comparison, in Ruby on Rails, every Active Record object has a .to_json function.
