Is Django REST framework a part of Django?

[Bill Watkins]

Good day, 

I've read an article about Django REST framework, and have a question: is this framework a part of Django?

I'm actually going to use it only for REST, cause we are using microservices architecture, and UI container is a separate part. 

Is it good idea? What do you think?

Thanks!

DRF is separate from django, despite the name.  From what I understand, the author and maintainers have decided to keep it from being bound to the django release cycle and allow their own schedule of updates and releases.

FWIW, DRF is great, I work with it daily on services that average a cumulative total of around 2500 requests/minute, and a number of FE applications are implemented in react to consume the data.

You can treat DRF as a Django package, though it's not a part of django.

DRF is the best RESTFul framework I've ever seen, and with great integration with Django.
