 === Serialization
 Serialization of an object is much more straightforward.
-* Create a json dict, with keys the arguments of the __init__ function of the object and the value the serialized value returned by the getter (also considering @JsonGetter)
+* Create a json dict, with keys the arguments of the {{{__init__}}} function of the object and the value the serialized value returned by the getter (also considering @JsonGetter)
 * If the object is an instance of a class with @JsonSubtypes, add/wrap the json with class info according to the @JsonTypeInfo 
+
+=== Primitive types
+Primitive types are types that are built into Python and do not have the {{{__init__}}} function as we expect, for instance float, str. Therefore these need to be intercepted and handled through special constructors and serializers.
+
+The following primitives are recognised and handled separately:
+
+int, float, bool, str, complex, range, bytes, bytearray, datetime, URI, Decimal, dict, list
+
+The dict and list are treated even more special as we also support the List[TYPE] and Dict[KEYTYPE, VALUETYPE] types.
