Re: Django to serve JSON: overkill?

Hi,

If the JSON is related to a data model, and if this model is elaborated and subject to evolution in the furure, Django can help a lot. Add Django RESTFramework to the combo to take care of the REST stuff.

If not, I'd suggest Falcon (https://falconframework.org/), which is a light and very efficient framework made for developing REST based services. I've used it quite a lot for writing micro-services of a complex platform. Services working with data models are developed on top of Django. The other ones are Falcon based.

Falcon - Bare-metal web API framework for Python falconframework.org Extended Test. Falcon was also benchmarked under CPython 3.6 with a more realistic scenario, in which the routing table had multiple entries, the query string contained percent-encoded characters, and several complex response headers were set in the response.

Hope this helps

Eric

Subject: Django to serve JSON: overkill?

 

Hi,

Is it overkill to use Django just to dispatch url requests and to reply with JSON (i.e. not using at all the HTML template engine)?

Thanks.

Best regards,
Charley
