Hi,
If the JSON is related to a data model, and if this model is elaborated and subject to evolution in the furure, Django can help a lot. Add Django RESTFramework to the combo to take care of the REST stuff. If not, I'd suggest Falcon (https://falconframework.org/), which is a light and very efficient framework made for developing REST based services. I've used it quite a lot for writing micro-services of a complex platform. Services working with data models are developed on top of Django. The other ones are Falcon based. Falcon - Bare-metal web API framework for Python<https://falconframework.org/> falconframework.org Extended Test. Falcon was also benchmarked under CPython 3.6 with a more realistic scenario, in which the routing table had multiple entries, the query string contained percent-encoded characters, and several complex response headers were set in the response. Hope this helps Eric ________________________________ From: [email protected] <[email protected]> on behalf of Charley Paulus <[email protected]> Sent: Saturday, October 27, 2018 3:13:33 PM To: Django users Subject: Django to serve JSON: overkill? Hi, Is it overkill to use Django just to dispatch url requests and to reply with JSON (i.e. not using at all the HTML template engine)? Thanks.
