Hi, You may also want to look at https://medium.com/django-rest-framework/django-rest-framework-viewset-when-you-don-t-have-a-model-335a0490ba6f It explains how to use a Viewset without models.

> urls.py <-> router <-> Viewset <-> Serializer

> But as I understand Serilizers (
> http://www.django-rest-framework.org/api-guide/serializers/ ), they can only
> be used for complex models or querysets - which is not what I need.

> I feel like I'm mis-understanding something about DRF. Help please?
