This example implements a custom field for the Tastypie REST framework that automatically encodes URL strings in API responses. The `SmartUrlField` class extends `fields.ApiField` and overrides the `convert` and `hydrate` methods to pass values through Django’s `smart_urlquote` utility, ensuring proper URL encoding. The field declares itself as a string type via `dehydrated_type` and provides a plain-text help text for API documentation. It handles both serialization (dehydrate) and deserialization (hydrate) paths, applying the same conversion logic in both directions.
