“Best” way to integrate Django with an Ajax library

Question

Obviously, horses for courses, but what are some good ways to integrate javascript libraries with one\'s Django application?

I\'m planning on using jQuery, mostly becaus

Answer 1

I would suggest that you simply create your own javascript and AJAX views. Ruby on Rails long had the opposite problem: forcing people to do AJAX in a certain way, and it was always a point of conflict for people. Recently, they finally realized their folly and decoupled AJAX from the framework so you can easily use whatever library you like.

This is a feature of Django. It may seem more difficult, but trust me, it ends up being infinitely better having control end-to-end.
