REST framework is a collaboratively funded project. If you use REST framework commercially we strongly encourage you to invest in its continued development by signing up for a paid plan.

+

Every single sign-up helps us make REST framework long-term financially sustainable.

REST framework continues to be open-source and permissively licensed, but we firmly believe it is in the commercial best-interest for users of the project to invest in its ongoing development.

What our sponsors and users say

+

As a developer, Django REST framework feels like an obvious and natural extension to all the great things that make up Django and it's community. Getting started is easy while providing simple abstractions which makes it flexible and customizable. Contributing and supporting Django REST framework helps ensure its future and one way or another it also helps Django, and the Python ecosystem.

+

— José Padilla, Django REST framework contributor

+

The number one feature of the Python programming language is its community. Such a community is only possible because of the Open Source nature of the language and all the culture that comes from it. Building great Open Source projects require great minds. Given that, we at Vinta are not only proud to sponsor the team behind DRF but we also recognize the ROI that comes from it.

+

— Filipe Ximenes, Vinta Software

+

It's really awesome that this project continues to endure. The code base is top notch and the maintainers are committed to the highest level of quality. +DRF is one of the core reasons why Django is top choice among web frameworks today. In my opinion, it sets the standard for rest frameworks for the development community at large.

Accountability

-

In order to ensure that I can be fully focused on trying to secure a sustainable -& well-funded open source business I will be leaving my current role at DabApps -at the end of May 2016.

-

I have formed a UK limited company, Encode, which will -act as the business entity behind REST framework. I will be issuing monthly reports -from Encode on progress both towards the Mozilla grant, and for development time -funded via the REST framework paid plans.

In an effort to keep the project as transparent as possible, we are releasing monthly progress reports and regularly include financial reports and cost breakdowns.
