To serialize a data from a request you can use the serializers.ModelSerializer

serializers.py

from rest_framwork import serializers
class FinalSerializer(serializers.ModelSerializer):
class Meta:
    model=Student
    fields='__all__'

views.py

import io
from yourappname.serializers import FinalSerializer #replace your app name
from rest_framework.parsers import JSONParser
from rest_framework.views import APIView
from rest_framework.parsers import JSONParser,MultiPartParser,FormParser
from rest_framework.response import Response


class DataList(APIView):


    parser_classes = (JSONParser,MultiPartParser,FormParser) #If you are using postman
    renderer_classes = (JSONRenderer,)
    #Serialize
    def get(self,request,format=None):
        all_data=Student.objects.all()
        serializer=FinalSerializer(all_data,many=True)
        return Response(serializer.data)#Will return serialized json data,makes sure you have data in your model
    #Deserialize
    #Not tried this function but it will work
    #from django documentation
    def djson(self,request,format=None):
        stream = io.BytesIO(json)
        data = JSONParser().parse(stream)
        serializer = FinalSerializer(data=data)
        serializer.is_valid()
        serializer.validated_data
