## What it is
django-modern-rest is a modern REST API framework for Django with full typing and async support. It provides a typed, async-first alternative to Django REST Framework for building RESTful APIs.

## Use cases
- build typed REST APIs with Django
- async REST endpoints in Django
- alternative to django-rest-framework
- openapi-documented Django APIs
- modern Django API framework with type checking

## When to choose
- you use Django and want typed, async REST APIs
- you find DRF too heavy or untyped
- you want modern Python typing in your API layer

## When to avoid
- you need a very mature ecosystem with many third-party extensions
- you don't use Django
- you need GraphQL or RPC instead of REST

## Facets
- artifact type: framework
- maturity: active
- function: api-framework, web-framework, serialization, routing, middleware
- domain: web-development, backend, apis
- platform: python
- tags: django, rest-api, async, typed-python, openapi, web-server
