DRF fits in very nicely with Django, especially if you are used to class-based views. We use it at edX for nearly all of our APIs. We don't have many complaints.
As someone mentioned regarding Django, it is important to not try to work around the framework. If you're not making a RESTful API, you may have a hard time taking full advantage of DRF.
- danpalmer 10y agoBringing it into a Django project of ~250 apps, I found it didn't play particularly well with app nesting and fitting into a complex URL hierarchy, although part of this could be that we might have been trying to fight it slightly.
- Walkman 10y agoYeah, nesting is a nightmare, but you can define your URL pattern any way you like instead of using the router.
