Advice on Django REST framework, Redwood
Detailed Comparison
It is a powerful and flexible toolkit that makes it easy to build Web APIs. | It is an opinionated, full-stack, serverless web application framework that will allow you to build and deploy JAMstack applications with ease. Imagine a React frontend, statically delivered by CDN, that talks via GraphQL to your backend running on AWS Lambdas around the world, all deployable with just a git push—that's Redwood. |
The Web browsable API is a huge usability win for your developers.;Authentication policies including OAuth1a and OAuth2 out of the box.;Serialization that supports both ORM and non-ORM data sources.;Customizable all the way down - just use regular function-based views if you don't need the more powerful features.;Extensive documentation, and great community support.;Used and trusted by large companies such as Mozilla and Eventbrite. | Opinionated defaults for formatting, file organization, webpack, Babel, and more;
Simple but powerful routing (all routes defined in one file) with dynamic (typed) parameters, constraints, and named route functions (to generate correct URLs);
Automatic page-based code-splitting;
Boilerplate-less GraphQL API construction;
Cells: a declarative way to fetch data from the backend API;
Generators for pages, layouts, cells, SDL, services, etc;
Scaffold generator for CRUD operations around a specific DB table;
Forms with easy client- and/or server-side validation and error handling;
Hot module replacement (HMR) for faster development;
Database migrations (via Prisma 2);
