Creating nested objects in Django REST Framework

Question

What is the right™ way to design DRF serializers that receive the following POSTed data to a List model:

{
    list_name: "friends",
    contacts: ["alice", "bob"]
}

And handles the creation of the nested Contact objects? Additionally, assume an extra step is needed to convert the names to capitalized (['Alice', 'Bob']).

You could use django-rest-framework-bulk which is linked from Django Rest Framework's documentation: http://www.django-rest-framework.org/topics/third-party-resources#views

'Implements generic view mixins as well as some common concrete generic views to allow to apply bulk operations via API requests.'

I'm not sure if it's the 'right™' way of doing it but the library is being actively maintained and it's 9 months old and seems to have a few contributors. Worth looking into.
