I've been reading through the documentation for piston and django-rest-framework.org and they both look like great projects. Could anyone with experience working with either of these applications (or their authors themselves) provide some compare and contrasting of the features/usability/etc.
Also, as a general REST-ism, the HTML form<http://www.w3schools.com/tags/att_form_method.asp>tag doesn't allow for HTTP methods besides GET and POST. As such we typically write a full REST API (GET, PUT, POST, DELETE), and then end up doing the following to "make it work" for HTML/browser settings. CREATE - POST to /resource/ READ - GET to /resource/ UPDATE - POST to /resource/<id> DELETE - POST to /resource/delete The really non-restful part of the "make it work for browsers" hack is adding the verb delete into the URL. I couldn't think of a better way. This is a common pattern I end up implementing a lot, and it would be cool if a rest framework let me accomplish this in an easier way.
