I thought that Web framework can validate RESTful(-like) requests (like PATCH or even GET), but I see that without redesigning/overriding built-in forms it is not possible.. :( I would like to say that in my opinion validation and cleaning (forms essentials) should be decoupled from HTML input and rendering. Without that, forms are only partially usable. It's a design issue, IMO. Nowdays I'm creating more apps with separated clients written in pure js, and I need solid backend. Input cleaning, validation and processing logic is the most important thing. But with validation designed mostly for plain-old-html input I can't rely on Django as a web framework. That's sad, because I like it for rapid development. Kind Regards, /Marcin -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.
