A Python library providing geographic add-ons (GeoJSON serializers, geometry fields, spatial filters) for Django REST Framework. It is maintained by the OpenWISP project and distributed on PyPI as djangorestframework-gis.

Use cases

• serve geo from a django rest framework api
• add geometry fields to drf serializers
• filter api results by bounding box or distance
• build a rest api for map data with django
• serialize postgis geometries in django
• expose gis models through django rest framework

When to choose

• you use Django REST Framework and need GeoJSON output or spatial filtering
• your Django models contain geometry fields backed by PostGIS or SpatiaLite
• you want a well-maintained, MIT-licensed extension integrated with DRF

When to avoid

• you don't use Django or Django REST Framework
• you need a standalone geospatial toolkit rather than API serialization add-ons
• your DRF/Django/Python versions fall outside the compatibility matrix
