In general Django REST Framework is a better package. Hooking in your own customization is less ad-hoc with DRF than with Tastypie, I've found. The DRF documentation is also absolutely stellar and the wider ecosystem around it is really good.
edit: And to my sibling commenter's point, DRF has a funding model, so it's being actively worked on full time.
- collyw 9y agoHaving used both, DRF is a lot more similar to standard Django. The views are similar, and the serializers work very similarly to forms so it feels a lot more consistent to use. I seem to remember a post a could of years back where they said they weren't going to be doing more active development in Tastypie, or something to that effect.
