What are the differences between django-tastypie and djangorestframework? [closed]

Answer 1

Both are good choices.

For filters, tastypie is more powerful out-of-the-box. If you have a view that exposes a model, you can do Django-style inequality filters:

http://www.example.com/api/person?age__gt=30

or OR queries:

http://www.example.com/api/mymodel?language__in=en&language__in=fr

these are possible with djangorestframework, but you have to write custom filters for each model.

For tracebacks, I've been more impressed with django-rest-framework. Tastypie tries to email settings.ADMINS on exceptions when DEBUG = False. When DEBUG = True, the default error message is serialised JSON, which is harder to read.
