[docs]class ObjectSerializer(object):
"""
The object serializer is responsible for converting objects to and
from basic data types. Basic data types are serializable to and
from most common data representation languages (such as yaml or json)
Basic data types are:
- str (basestring in Python2, str in Python3)
- float
- int
- None
- dict
- list
The serializer decides what it can and can not serialize, and should raise
an exception when a type it can not serialize is passed.
`SchematicsSerializer` is the default implementation used.
