Alternatives to Django REST Framework

[Amit Prahesh]

Hi,

while Django REST Framework seems wonderful to me, it is a heayweight option for a little project of mine. I wonder if there are simpler alternatives for publishing a simple API?

TIA,

AP.

I love DRF, but if you want to check something else, there is also Tastypie!

Here you can find the docs: https://django-tastypie.readthedocs.org/en/latest/

Someone I met at the Austin python user group told me they'd built their company's backend using Falcon and were very happy with it.

You could try Flask, I have used it in the past when I did not need all the infrastructure that Django provides:

Hi,

You can search for "restless", it is a small library, very simple and with basics features, but you can understand the mechanisms from behind and the behavior of a "REST" framework. 

Or you can try make something own, in the internet has some tutorials that explain how to make.

I did make my own REST api with CBV (Class Based Views) and django authentication.

Cheers.

If you do not need Django at all, Flask or Bottle.

If you are going to use Django anyway, just use a Django view that return JSON, XML or whatever you want.

[Vijay Khemlani]

If you don't need the advanced features of Django or REST framework it's easy to ignore them, it's not like they require tons of resources or configuration files to work.

If you do go the Flask route, you might want to check this:

Hey,

Don't think DRF as a heavy option. It's pretty light actually.

I won't recommend at all tastypie (really bad experience with
it).

I would agree with Francois on flask. That's a good alternative
to build a light API.
