## What it is
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

## Facets
- artifact type: library
- maturity: active
- function: middleware, caching, routing, serialization
- domain: web-development, backend, apis
- platform: python
- tags: django-rest-framework, django, rest-api, viewsets, nested-routes, etag, bulk-operations
