ExtJS is a REST *client* wich uses basic CRUD calls to obtain great results with *few lines of code*!
It supports CRUD, pagination, sorting and filtering out of the box! Please respect also the 2nd class citizen :-| Django-rest-framework of course is server-side so it is incomparable! It does a lot of things exactly like many other frameworks. The real point is that you, as a programmer appreciate django for features, reliability, and many other aspects, but your customers needs to see other things like available developers, competitors, references etc etc I'd love to see django do the same thing i have done with my Zend proxy. Manage a table's crud created in realtime with zero added code! I mean, you configure the db connection, and every REST calls will manage EVERY table in selected db via CRUD calls, automatically. Without configuring table, keys, fields and so on. This can be a great way to scaffold a prototype really fast! Once you are at an advanced stage, you can simply change the REST pointers to a more advanced rest-server ;-) Il giorno lunedì 8 giugno 2015 13:23:18 UTC+2, Jani Tiainen ha scritto: > > Hi, > > I've been working with relatively large (GIS) apps that do use ExtJS and > Django. > > What comes to ExtJS and it's "REST" that is pure joke.
