View In Hierarchy

Serialize a QuerySet to XML.

Method end_object Called after handling all fields for an object.
Method end_serialization End serialization -- end the document.
Method handle_field Handle each field on an object (except for ForeignKeys and ManyToManyFields).
Method handle_fk_field Handle a ForeignKey (they need to be treated slightly differently from regular fields).

Method indent Undocumented
Method start_object Called as each object is handled.
Method start_serialization Start serialization -- open the XML document and the root element.
Instance Variable xml Undocumented
Method _start_relational_field Output the <field> element for relational fields.
