Dictionary in a model of django rest framework

I have to have this in my model:

content: (Dictonary)    
      recipient: (Dictionary)
            type: (Facebook, Address or Email)
            name: (name or email)
            id: (id)
      textfields: (Array)
            title: (title)
            text: (text)
            size: (size)

I saw this post and this one, but I can't do it. For me is actually the first time that someone tells me that he needs exactly that structure in the model. I have never seem something like that before. But I'm also new :) so, maybe it's just that I don't know how to do it.

Maybe someone here with more experience than me can help me. I don't have any idea.

EDIT

I mean, I don't have to have it so in the model, but I need to accept POST, DELETE, PUT requests with that structure as well return GET request with that structure.

Dictionaries in python are done like this:

content = {}

type = {'Faceboook': '', 'Address': '', 'Email': ''}

recipient = {'type': type, 'name': '', id: ''}

textfields = {'title': '', 'text':'', 'size':''}

content = {'recipient': recipient, 'textfields': textfields}

> {'textfields': {'text': '', 'size': '', 'title': ''}, 'recipient': {: '', 'type': {'Faceboook': '', 'Email': '', 'Address': ''}, 'name': ''}}

Then you can just store this on a JSONFIELD.
