A Python library providing routers and fields for creating nested resources in Django REST Framework. It enables RESTful URL structures where one resource lives inside another, such as /domains/{domain_pk}/nameservers/.

Use cases

• create nested REST API URL structures in Django Rest Framework
• route child resources under parent resources like /domains/{pk}/nameservers/
• build REST APIs where a resource cannot exist without its parent
• register nested viewsets with DRF routers
• filter child querysets by parent primary key from URL kwargs

When to choose

• you use Django REST Framework and need hierarchical resource URLs
• your API resources have strict parent-child ownership relationships
• you want full REST URL nesting without hand-writing URL patterns

When to avoid

• your API resources are flat and don't need nested URL structures
• you don't use Django or Django REST Framework
• you need deeply nested or highly custom routing beyond parent-child nesting
