I've used Django Rest Framework a few times: http://www.django-rest-framework.org/ http://www.django-rest-framework.org/ It comes with alot of nice to haves out of the box (auth, an admin backend, browsable api...) . Built on top of Django of course so there's some overhead there. I wouldn't use it if high performance is top priority above all else.
