In Django Rest Framework (DRF) you need serializer class. Maybe this is because DRF is not tightly coupled with the models from Django framework.
As far as I know DRF does not support PUT/UPDATE operations for nested serializers. But there are cases when you just need to read. Like getting an activity feed which can't be modified directly by the users. I think if you have a good caching system it's better to return all the data for one request instead of creating new requests to get details about each entity.
