Framework for Implementing REST web service in Django
- by Laizer
I'm looking to implement a RESTful interface for a Django application. It is primarily a data-service application - the interface will be (at this point) read-only.
The question is which Django toolsets / frameworks make the most sense for this task.
I see Django-rest and Django-piston. There's also the option of rolling my own.
The question was asked here, but a good two years back. I'd like to know what the current state of play is.
In this question, circa 2008, the strong majority vote was to not use any framework at all - just create Django views that reply with e.g. JSON. (The question was also addressed, crica 2008, here.)
In the current landscape, what makes the most sense?
