A mini-framework for Django for creating RESTful APIs.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Piston is a relatively small Django application that lets you
|
||
|
|
create application programming interfaces (API) for your sites.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
It has several unique features:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* Ties into Django's internal mechanisms.
|
||
|
|
* Supports OAuth out of the box (as well as Basic/Digest or custom auth.)
|
||
|
|
* Doesn't require tying to models, allowing arbitrary resources.
|
||
|
|
* Speaks JSON, YAML, Python Pickle & XML (and HATEOAS.)
|
||
|
|
* Ships with a convenient reusable library in Python
|
||
|
|
* Respects and encourages proper use of HTTP (status codes, ...)
|
||
|
|
* Has built in (optional) form validation (via Django), throttling, etc.
|
||
|
|
* Supports streaming, with a small memory footprint.
