Django – Setup Django REST framework
We have the Django welcome page working already.
I would like to create some REST services on that setup. We could make use of the Django REST framework.
Let’s keep working on our <project_root>/django_poc project to manage articles by REST. The example in this post are based on the Django REST framework quickstart tutorial. It’s good to go through all of them which could give you a more thorough idea on how the REST framework works.
