Full documentation for REST framework is available on http://django-rest-framework.org.

Note that this is the 2.0 version of REST framework. If you are looking for earlier versions please see the 0.4.x branch on GitHub.

Overview

Django REST framework is a lightweight library that makes it easy to build Web APIs. It is designed as a modular and easy to customize architecture, based on Django's class based views.

Web APIs built using REST framework are fully self-describing and web browseable - a huge useability win for your developers. It also supports a wide range of media types, authentication and permission policies out of the box.

If you are considering using REST framework for your API, we recommend reading the REST framework 2 announcment which gives a good overview of the framework and it's capabilities.

There is also a sandbox API you can use for testing purposes, available here.

Requirements

  • Python (2.6, 2.7)
  • Django (1.3, 1.4, 1.5)

Optional:

  • Markdown - Markdown support for the self describing API.
  • PyYAML - YAML content type support.
