title: Getting Django to serialize objects without the "fields" field
body: <p>So I am working on writing the backend web service using Django to create &amp; consume JSON, and my colleague is working on the ExtJS4 frontend. I'm using the wadofstuff serializer so I can serialize nested objects.</p>
  
  <p>My colleague is having trouble parsing the json, specifically that Django puts the fields for an object inside a "fields" field. A short example:</p>
  
  <p>The way things are being serialized now:</p>
  
  <pre><code>{
    "pk":1,
    "model":"events.phone",
    "fields":{
       "person":1,
       "name":"Cell",
       "number":"444-555-6666"
    }
  }
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>The way I would like to serialize them to make ExtJS and my fellow developer happy:</p>
  
  <pre><code>{
    "pk":1,
    "model":"events.phone",
    "person":1,
    "name":"Cell",
    "number":"444-555-6666"
  }
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>We will need to serialze some objects that are much more complicated than this however.</p>
  
  <p>Is there any way short of writing my serializations by hand to make the Django or wadofstuff serializer not use a fields field? </p>
