First you should consider JSON instead of xml: - Django can serialize every object in json - JSon is an object in javascript.
so it should be easier to deal with data this way. 2010/2/9 Dasleah <dasl...@gmail.com>: > Hey all, > > Long-ago webhead here who hasn't touched much of anything since > Javascript was a dirty word and PHP was the be-all and end-all (but > I've managed a bit of Python experience) I just have a few questions > about whether or not Django was right for a project I'm thinking of > and hopefully getting a few insights from people who know much more > than me. > > Basically, the website is going to centre around user-generated > content.
