Re: Why do we need Django rest framework when our conventional django do what we want?

Hi,

In my opinion if you are starting from scratch to develop your ecommerce application, I would encourage you to start with DRF, but if in case if you can not afford to write DRF APIs for an existing application, you might want to refer this:

Disclaimer: I can not give any guarantee on this article because we did not try this. In fact I would like to hear comments from other experts here about this article?

Best regards,

You need drf aka DjangoRestFramework because it provides a smooth api for your application. It comes into use whenever you're trying to have a javascript framework like ReactJS or NextJS or Angular or VueJS etc... On the client side. If you inject js framework in the frontend you also need a package called django-cors-headers.

You can also use drf with django if you don't have any js frameworks in the client side. In this case you don't need a cors headers package.

Thanks and Regards
