## What it is
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

## Facets
- artifact type: library
- maturity: active
- function: serialization, api-framework, geospatial
- domain: web-development, backend, apis
- platform: python
- tags: django, django-rest-framework, geo, gis, rest-api, openwisp, maps, web-server
