Thanks gora, I am happy to use django-DRF if I can use it without doing syncdb. I don't want to use models and orm.
The REST API app which I am going to develop doesn't have models now. I also don't want the apps which are included in settings.INSTALLED_APPS by default. I also want to run some asynchronous task (to read a large xml file and process it) from this REST API App, I think I can use celery + gevent here. I just started reading http://www.django-rest-framework.org/ Thanks, On Tue, Jun 23, 2015 at 12:41 AM, Gora Mohanty <g...@mimirtech.com> wrote: > Hi, > > Since you seem to be determined to reinvent the wheel, may I ask what is > your use case to choose flask + largely-roll-one's-own-rest-api vs. Django > + DRF? > > The same goes for all the recent hoopla in this list over Flask/Bottle over > Django, if you ask me.
