Hi Django Developers,

Json response from the django server is huge as the data fields contained are of big size.

So, can I restrict the *fields* required in the response data from the *HTTP Request Url* ?
Is there a generic param, which can be used ?

Just like QuerySet, can we have "ValueSet" to restrict the fields(or columns) in the json response data ?

Regards,

Adaeit

Using Django Rest Framework , you can alter the output by overriting function to_represent in serializer.

Using django rest framework, create a serializer class and specify the right field you want to display at the end.
