<s>[INST] How do you serialize a model instance in Django? There is a lot of documentation on how to serialize a Model QuerySet but how do you just serialize to JSON the fields of a Model Instance?
 [/INST] You can easily use a list to wrap the required object and that's all what django serializers need to correctly serialize it, eg.:
from django.core import serializers

# assuming obj is a model instance
serialized_obj = serializers.serialize('json', [ obj, ])
