Currently I can only return normal json for each record but I want to group and return nested json like above any help would be appreciate

these below are my codes model.py


    from django.db import models
    class MachineSchedule(models.Model):
        machine = models.CharField(max_length=255)
        title   = models.CharField(max_length=255)
        subTitle1 = models.CharField(max_length=255)
        subTitle2 = models.CharField(max_length=255)
        subTitle3 = models.CharField(max_length=255)
        status = models.IntegerField(1)
        delay = models.IntegerField(1)

views.py


    from django.shortcuts import render
    from rest_framework import generics
    from .models import MachineSchedule
    from .serializers import MachineScheduleSerializer
    class MachineScheduleListAPIView(generics.ListCreateAPIView):
        serializer_class = MachineScheduleSerializer
          model = MachineSchedule
            fields = '__all__'

serializers.py


    from rest_framework import serializers
    from .models import MachineAllocate
    
    class MachineAllocateSerializer(serializers.ModelSerializer):
        class Meta:
            model = MachineAllocate
            fields = '__all__'
