Django or Django Rest Framework

Question

I have made a certain app in Django, and I know that Django Rest Framework is used for building APIs. However, when I started to read about Django Rest Framework on their websit

Answer 1

The basic purpose of DRF is to provide APIs. APIs are the touch point in an app. Imagine a project where you have a Django wizard and someone on your team is a JavaScript expert and you want to develop mobile app. The JavaScript expert talks about web elements and threading and the Django expert talks templates and ORM, now what? API is your answer. Let Django wiz give APIs and JSON and let JavaScript wiz do his front end magic. Simplest answer I can think of.
