As someone who has used DRF in many projects over a decade, I 100% agree. In my current project Iām using django-ninja which gives me the power of the Django ecosystem and ORM with the simplicity of FastAPI. This is the way.
I've stuck to DRF for all these years. But wouldn't mind looking at django-ninja. Is it better?
I think you'd use Django REST framework wouldn't you?
Django REST Framework is Django's killer app (as Django is Python's killer app). If you need an API, it's a great batteries-included way to build one.
Have you tried django-ninja or FastAPI?
Django REST Framework and your SPA of choice is a great combination.
Cool project! I wonder why they are not using Django Rest Framework. It seems like a great fit here.
Still Django unless you're only building a simple API.
I am curious, do you use Django Rest Framework on top of Django for your API?
Django is an excellent choice for writing a REST backend though.
