## What it is
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
