Django extends the standard JSON encoder from the standard library to
enhance its functionality, for example by providing methods to serialize
{{{datetimes}}} and {{{Decimal}}}.

Because {{{QuerySet}}} has a serialize method included in Django, why
don't use it in {{{DjangoJSONEncoder}}}?

Comment (by Tim Graham):

Can you explain what you're trying to do? As far as I see, `QuerySet`
doesn't have a `serialize()` method.

Django provides us {{{django.core.serializers.serialize}}} function to
serialize a {{{QuerySet}}}.

I want to create a wrapper about {{{DjangoJSONEncoder}}} to include
{{{QuerySet}}} ({{{DjangoCustomJSONEncoder}}} for example) serialization
but it comes to mind if Django gives us a function to serialize a
{{{QuerySet}}} why Django does not include it into
{{{DjangoJSONEncoder}}}? So I think that there must be a major issue to
not include it.

Regards

Can you elaborate on the use case for creating a wrapper around
`DjangoJSONEncoder` to include `QuerySet`?

We are using a Front-end framework that need to receive a JSON for
rendering a collection. So we need to include a {{{Queryset}} into a
wrapper of {{{DjangoJSONEncoder}}} to be able to serialize {{{QuerySet}}}

Thanks.

Comment:

You might consider third-party packages such as [http://www.django-rest-
framework.org/ django REST framework] rather than building your own
serialization. I think queryset serialization is too nuanced (for example,
which fields should be serialized?) to add it to `DjangoJSONEncoder` which
serializes basic data types.
