< p > REST framework 2.0 introduces a radical redesign of the core components, and a large number of backwards breaking changes.< / p >
< h3 id = "serialization-redesign" > Serialization redesign.< / h3 >
< p > REST framework's serialization and deserialization previously used a slightly odd combination of serializers for output, and Django Forms and Model Forms for input. The serialization core has been completely redesigned based on work that was originally intended for Django core.< / p >
< p > 2.0's form-like serializers comprehensively address those issues, and are a much more flexible and clean solution to the problems around accepting both form-based and non-form based inputs.< / p >
< h3 id = "generic-views-improved" > Generic views improved.< / h3 >
< p > When REST framework 0.1 was released the current Django version was 1.2. REST framework included a backport of the Django 1.3's upcoming < code > View< / code > class, but it didn't take full advantage of the generic view implementations.< / p >
< p > As of 2.0 the generic views in REST framework tie in much more cleanly and obviously with Django's existing codebase, and the mixin architecture is radically simplified.< / p >
< h3 id = "cleaner-request-response-cycle" > Cleaner request-response cycle.< / h3 >
< p > REST framework 2.0's request-response cycle is now much less complex.< / p >
< ul >
< li > Responses inherit from < code > SimpleTemplateResponse< / code > , allowing rendering to be delegated to the response, not handled by the view.< / li >
< li > Requests extend the regular < code > HttpRequest< / code > , allowing authentication and parsing to be delegated to the request, not handled by the view.< / li >
