|
|
<p>REST framework includes a number of built in Parser classes, that allow you to accept requests with various media types. There is also support for defining your own custom parsers, which gives you the flexibility to design the media types that your API accepts.</p>
|
|
<h2 id="how-the-parser-is-determined">How the parser is determined</h2>
|
|
<p>The set of valid parsers for a view is always defined as a list of classes. When either <code>request.DATA</code> or <code>request.FILES</code> is accessed, REST framework will examine the <code>Content-Type</code> header on the incoming request, and determine which parser to use to parse the request content.</p>
|
|
<hr />
|
|
<p><strong>Note</strong>: When developing client applications always remember to make sure you're setting the <code>Content-Type</code> header when sending data in an HTTP request.</p>
|
|
<p>If you don't set the content type, most clients will default to using <code>'application/x-www-form-urlencoded'</code>, which may not be what you wanted.</p>
|
|
<p>As an example, if you are sending <code>json</code> encoded data using jQuery with the <a href="http://api.jquery.com/jQuery.ajax/">.ajax() method</a>, you should make sure to include the <code>contentType: 'application/json'</code> setting.</p>
|
|
<hr />
|
|
<h2 id="setting-the-parsers">Setting the parsers</h2>
|
|
<p>The default set of parsers may be set globally, using the <code>DEFAULT_PARSER_CLASSES</code> setting. For example, the following settings would allow requests with <code>YAML</code> content.</p>
|
|
<pre class="prettyprint lang-py"><code>REST_FRAMEWORK = {
|
|
'DEFAULT_PARSER_CLASSES': (
|
|
'rest_framework.parsers.YAMLParser',
|
|
)
|
|
}
|
|
</code></pre>
|
|
<p>You can also set the parsers used for an individual view, or viewset,
|
|
using the <code>APIView</code> class based views.</p>
|
|
<pre class="prettyprint lang-py"><code>from rest_framework.parsers import YAMLParser
|
|
from rest_framework.response import Response
|
|
from rest_framework.views import APIView
|
|
|
|
class ExampleView(APIView):
|
|
"""
|
|

|
|
"""
|
|
parser_classes = (YAMLParser,)
|
|
|
|
def post(self, request, format=None):
|
|
return Response({'received data': request.DATA})
|
|
</code></pre>
|
|
<p>Or, if you're using the <code>@api_view</code> decorator with function based views.</p>
|
|
<pre class="prettyprint lang-py"><code>@api_view(['POST'])
|
|
@parser_classes((YAMLParser,))
|
|
def example_view(request, format=None):
|
|
"""
|
|
A view that can accept POST requests with YAML content.
|
|
"""
|
|
return Response({'received data': request.DATA})
|
|
</code></pre>

|
<h1 id="api-reference">API Reference</h1>
|
|
<h2 id="jsonparser">JSONParser</h2>
|
|
<p>Parses <code>JSON</code> request content.</p>
|
|
<p><strong>.media_type</strong>: <code>application/json</code></p>
|
|
<h2 id="yamlparser">YAMLParser</h2>
|
|
<p>Parses <code>YAML</code> request content.</p>
|
|
<p>Requires the <code>pyyaml</code> package to be installed.</p>
|
|
<p><strong>.media_type</strong>: <code>application/yaml</code></p>
|
|
<h2 id="xmlparser">XMLParser</h2>
|
|
<p>Parses REST framework's default style of <code>XML</code> request content.</p>
|
|
<p>Note that the <code>XML</code> markup language is typically used as the base language for more strictly defined domain-specific languages, such as <code>RSS</code>, <code>Atom</code>, and <code>XHTML</code>.</p>
|
|
<p>If you are considering using <code>XML</code> for your API, you may want to consider implementing a custom renderer and parser for your specific requirements, and using an existing domain-specific media-type, or creating your own custom XML-based media-type.</p>
|
|
<p>Requires the <code>defusedxml</code> package to be installed.</p>
|
|
<p><strong>.media_type</strong>: <code>application/xml</code></p>
|
|
<h2 id="formparser">FormParser</h2>
|
|
<p>Parses HTML form content. <code>request.DATA</code> will be populated with a <code>QueryDict</code> of data, <code>request.FILES</code> will be populated with an empty <code>QueryDict</code> of data.</p>
|
|
<p>You will typically want to use both <code>FormParser</code> and <code>MultiPartParser</code> together in order to fully support HTML form data.</p>
|
|
<p><strong>.media_type</strong>: <code>application/x-www-form-urlencoded</code></p>
|
|
<h2 id="multipartparser">MultiPartParser</h2>
|
|
<p>Parses multipart HTML form content, which supports file uploads. Both <code>request.DATA</code> and <code>request.FILES</code> will be populated with a <code>QueryDict</code>.</p>
|
|
<p>You will typically want to use both <code>FormParser</code> and <code>MultiPartParser</code> together in order to fully support HTML form data.</p>
|
|
<p><strong>.media_type</strong>: <code>multipart/form-data</code></p>
|
|
<h2 id="fileuploadparser">FileUploadParser</h2>
|
|
<p>Parses raw file upload content. The <code>request.DATA</code> property will be an empty <code>QueryDict</code>, and <code>request.FILES</code> will be a dictionary with a single key <code>'file'</code> containing the uploaded file.</p>
|
|
<p>If the view used with <code>FileUploadParser</code> is called with a <code>filename</code> URL keyword argument, then that argument will be used as the filename. If it is called without a <code>filename</code> URL keyword argument, then the client must set the filename in the <code>Content-Disposition</code> HTTP header. For example <code>Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=upload.jpg</code>.</p>
|
|
<p><strong>.media_type</strong>: <code>*/*</code></p>
|
|
<h5 id="notes">Notes:</h5>
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>The <code>FileUploadParser</code> is for usage with native clients that can upload the file as a raw data request. For web-based uploads, or for native clients with multipart upload support, you should use the <code>MultiPartParser</code> parser instead.</li>
|
|
<li>Since this parser's <code>media_type</code> matches any content type, <code>FileUploadParser</code> should generally be the only parser set on an API view.</li>
|
|
<li><code>FileUploadParser</code> respects Django's standard <code>FILE_UPLOAD_HANDLERS</code> setting, and the <code>request.upload_handlers</code> attribute. See the <a href="https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/topics/http/file-uploads/#upload-handlers">Django documentation</a> for more details.</li>

<h1 id="custom-parsers">Custom parsers</h1>
|
|
<p>To implement a custom parser, you should override <code>BaseParser</code>, set the <code>.media_type</code> property, and implement the <code>.parse(self, stream, media_type, parser_context)</code> method.</p>
|
|
<p>The method should return the data that will be used to populate the <code>request.DATA</code> property.</p>
|
|
<p>The arguments passed to <code>.parse()</code> are:</p>
|
|
<h3 id="stream">stream</h3>
|
|
<p>A stream-like object representing the body of the request.</p>
|
|
<h3 id="media_type">media_type</h3>
|
|
<p>Optional. If provided, this is the media type of the incoming request content.</p>
|
|
<p>Depending on the request's <code>Content-Type:</code> header, this may be more specific than the renderer's <code>media_type</code> attribute, and may include media type parameters. For example <code>"text/plain; charset=utf-8"</code>.</p>
|
|
<h3 id="parser_context">parser_context</h3>
|
|
<p>Optional. If supplied, this argument will be a dictionary containing any additional context that may be required to parse the request content.</p>
|
|
<p>By default this will include the following keys: <code>view</code>, <code>request</code>, <code>args</code>, <code>kwargs</code>.</p>
|
|
<h2 id="example">Example</h2>
|
|
<p>The following is an example plaintext parser that will populate the <code>request.DATA</code> property with a string representing the body of the request. </p>
|
|
<pre class="prettyprint lang-py"><code>class PlainTextParser(BaseParser):
|
|
"""
|
|
Plain text parser.
|
|
"""

<h2 id="messagepack">MessagePack</h2>

|
<p><a href="https://github.com/juanriaza/django-rest-framework-msgpack">MessagePack</a> is a fast, efficient binary serialization format. <a href="https://github.com/juanriaza">Juan Riaza</a> maintains the <a href="https://github.com/juanriaza/django-rest-framework-msgpack">djangorestframework-msgpack</a> package which provides MessagePack renderer and parser support for REST framework.</p>
|
|
<h2 id="camelcase-json">CamelCase JSON</h2>
|
|
<p><a href="https://github.com/vbabiy/djangorestframework-camel-case">djangorestframework-camel-case</a> provides camel case JSON renderers and parsers for REST framework. This allows serializers to use Python-style underscored field names, but be exposed in the API as Javascript-style camel case field names. It is maintained by <a href="https://github.com/vbabiy">Vitaly Babiy</a>.</p>
