Django REST Framework

Build APIs with DRF serializers, views and routers.

📖 Key ideas

  1. Install: pip install djangorestframework.
  2. Serializers convert models to JSON and validate input.
  3. APIView or ViewSet handles requests.
  4. Routers create URLs for ViewSets automatically.
  5. Authentication: session, token or JWT; permissions like IsAuthenticated.
💡 Real-life example: A serializer is a translator converting Python objects into JSON and back.
