""" The **asdf** submodule contains code that is used to serialize specutils types so that they can be represented and stored using the Advanced Scientific Data Format (ASDF). If both **asdf** and **specutils** are installed, no further configuration is required in order to process ASDF files that contain **specutils** types. The **asdf** package has been designed to automatically detect the presence of the tags defined by **specutils**. Documentation on the ASDF Standard can be found `here `__. Documentation on the ASDF Python module can be found `here `__. Additional details for specutils developers can be found in :ref:`asdf_dev`. """
