+### Pagination
+
+DJA pagination is based on [DRF pagination](http://www.django-rest-framework.org/api-guide/pagination/).
+
+When pagination is enabled, the renderer will return a `meta` object with
 record count and a `links` object with the next, previous, first, and last links.
-Pages can be selected with the `page` GET parameter. The query parameter used to
-retrieve the page can be customized by subclassing `PageNumberPagination` and
-overriding the `page_query_param`.  Page size can be controlled per request via
-the `PAGINATE_BY_PARAM` query parameter (`page_size` by default).
 
-#### Performance Testing
+#### Configuring the Pagination Style
+
+Pagination style can be set on a particular viewset with the `pagination_class` attribute or by default for all viewsets
+by setting `REST_FRAMEWORK['DEFAULT_PAGINATION_CLASS']` and by setting `REST_FRAMEWORK['PAGE_SIZE']`.
+
+You can configure fixed values for the page size or limit -- or allow the client to choose the size or limit
+via query parameters.
+
+Two pagination classes are available:
+- `JsonApiPageNumberPagination` breaks a response up into pages that start at a given page number with a given size 
+  (number of items per page). It can be configured with the following attributes:
+  - `page_query_param` (default `page[number]`)
+  - `page_size_query_param` (default `page[size]`) Set this to `None` if you don't want to allow the client 
+     to specify the size.
+  - `max_page_size` (default `100`) enforces an upper bound on the `page_size_query_param`.
+     Set it to `None` if you don't want to enforce an upper bound.
+- `JsonApiLimitOffsetPagination` breaks a response up into pages that start from an item's offset in the viewset for 
+  a given number of items (the limit).
+  It can be configured with the following attributes:
+  - `offset_query_param` (default `page[offset]`).
+  - `limit_query_param` (default `page[limit]`).
+  - `max_limit` (default `100`) enforces an upper bound on the limit.
+     Set it to `None` if you don't want to enforce an upper bound.
+
+
+These examples show how to configure the parameters to use non-standard names and different limits:
+
+```python
+from rest_framework_json_api.pagination import JsonApiPageNumberPagination, JsonApiLimitOffsetPagination
+
+class MyPagePagination(JsonApiPageNumberPagination):
+    page_query_param = 'page_number'
+    page_size_query_param = 'page_size'
+    max_page_size = 1000
+
+class MyLimitPagination(JsonApiLimitOffsetPagination):
+    offset_query_param = 'offset'
+    limit_query_param = 'limit'
+    max_limit = None
+```
+
+### Performance Testing
 
 If you are trying to see if your viewsets are configured properly to optimize performance,
 it is preferable to use `example.utils.BrowsableAPIRendererWithoutForms` instead of the default `BrowsableAPIRenderer`
