When are create and update called in djangorestframework serializer?

Question

I\'m currently implementing djangorestframework for my app RESTful API. After playing around with it, I still do not clearly understand what .create(self, validated_data)<

Answer 1

In the rest-api design create, read, update and delete is a standard. There is not quite big difference in create and update.

Please refer to this and

see create() method will create an item.

and

update() method need to specify which item to be updated.
