[Django]-Can Django's ORM return a nested object queryset?

✅

Django currently supports no query method for returning such objects directly from a query, however, you can use a prefetch_related to get the toppings for the pizza objects, and then build your nested object in python: 

pizzas = Pizza.objects.prefetch_related('toppings')

nested_obj = [{"name": pizza.name, "toppings": [{"name": topping.name} for topping in pizza.toppings.all()]} for pizza in pizzas]

You still get to use one query.
