  • Django REST framework is a powerful and flexible toolkit that makes it easy to build Web APIs.

    Some reasons you might want to use REST framework:

    • The Web browseable API is a huge usability win for your developers.
    • Authentication policies including OAuth1a and OAuth2 out of the box.
    • Serialization that supports both ORM and non-ORM data sources.
    • Customizable all the way down - just use regular function-based views if you don't need the more powerful features.
    • Extensive documentation, and great community support.
