Tastypie is a webservice API framework for Django that provides a convenient, highly customizable abstraction for creating REST-style interfaces over Django models and non-ORM data sources. It supports full CRUD via GET/POST/PUT/DELETE/PATCH, multiple serialization formats (JSON/XML/YAML/bplist), HATEOAS, and built-in authentication and caching hooks.

Use cases

• expose django models as a rest api
• build a read-write json api for a django app
• serve xml or yaml responses from django
• create an api layer without writing custom serializers
• add restful endpoints with authentication and caching
• integrate non-orm data sources into a django api

When to choose

• you have a Django app and want a flexible, low-magic REST API framework
• you need deep relation support and multiple serialization formats
• you want HATEOAS-style APIs with sensible defaults

When to avoid

• you prefer Django REST Framework's larger ecosystem and community
• you're starting a new project without legacy Tastypie code
• you need async or non-Django API tooling
