The community has stepped in here.
Django Rest-framework provides one of the best approaches for creating restful apis that any web framework has to offer. For me, using Django is inseparable from using Django Rest-framework. Its what makes working with Django great.
Nodal by comparison does a lot of great things like Django does, but without the robustness of a rest framework behind it, Nodal seems to have created another good framework but not something new and better.
- dev360 11y agoDjango Rest framework was not always great :) .. In fact, nowadays I prefer to use one called Django Restless. My argument is just that REST is not the type of problem that should warrant having three competing libraries (see comment above).. It has been pretty fundamental to the way you build modern apps ever since SPAs became a big thing. To think that Rails got many of these things right-ish in version 1.2 which was released in 2007 is pretty damn impressive and speaks volumes about the technical clairvoyance of the ruby/rails community.
