DRF-extensions is a collection of custom extensions for Django REST Framework, providing mixins, routers, caching, conditional requests, nested routes, and bulk operations. It is a Python library installed via pip that augments DRF viewsets and serializers with additional functionality.

Use cases

• add caching and ETag conditional requests to DRF endpoints
• use different serializers for list and detail views
• create nested routes for related resources
• perform bulk update and destroy operations on viewsets
• customize cache key construction per user, headers, or query params
• extend Django REST Framework routers with pluggable mixins

When to choose

• you already use Django REST Framework and need caching, nested routes, or bulk operations
• you want drop-in mixins rather than building custom viewset logic
• you need conditional request/ETAG support out of the box

When to avoid

• you don't use Django or Django REST Framework
• you need a standalone REST framework rather than DRF extensions
• you need features not covered by the library's mixins and routers
