class JSONEncoder(DjangoJSONEncoder):
    '''An extended JSON encoder to handle some additional cases.

    The Django encoder already deals with date/datetime objects.
    Additionally, this encoder uses an 'as_dict' or 'as_list' attribute or
    method of an object, if provided. It also makes lists from QuerySets.
