< p > Although we're incredibly proud of REST framework in its current state we believe there is still huge scope for improvement. What we're aiming for here is a < em > highly polished, rock solid product< / em > . This needs to backed up with impeccable documentation and a great third party ecosystem.< / p >
2015-08-24 13:04:47 +03:00
< p > The roadmap below is a broad indication of just some of the ongoing and future work we believe is important to REST framework.< / p >

< li > Continuing triage & community support.< / li >
< li > Improved project documentation, including versioned & internationalized docs.< / li >
< li > Improved third party package visibility.< / li >
< li > Refining the admin interface, ensuring it has a fully customizable API and making it suitable as end-user facing application.< / li >
< li > Cleaning up internal complexities including the < code > BrowsableAPIRenderer< / code > and < code > Request< / code > object.< / li >
2015-08-24 13:04:47 +03:00
< li > Support for alternative backends such as SQLAlchemy.< / li >
