If we want to create a simple
Player
model that we will use to represent and persist players in Django REST framework, we can create:A
Player
class as a subclass of thedjangorestframework.models.Model class
.A
Player
class as a subclass of thedjango.db.models.Model class
.A Player function in the
restframeworkmodels.py
file.
In the Django REST Framework, serializers are:
Mediators between the model instances and Python primitives.
Mediators between the view functions and Python primitives.
Mediators between the URLs and view functions.
In the Django REST Framework, parsers and renderers:
Handle as mediators between model instances and Python primitives.
Reset the board.
Handle as mediators between Python primitives and HTTP requests and responses.
The
urlpatterns
list declared in the urls.py file makes it possible to:Route URLs to views.
Route URLs to models.
Route URLs to Python primitives.
HTTPie is a:
Command-line HTTP server written in Python that makes it easy to create a RESTful Web Server.
Command-line utility that allows us to run queries against an SQLite database.
Command-line HTTP client written in Python that makes it easy to compose and send HTTP requests.

Overview of this book
Python is the language of choice for millions of developers worldwide, due to its gentle learning curve as well as its vast applications in day-to-day programming. It serves the purpose of building great web services in the RESTful architecture. This book will show you the best tools you can use to build your own web services.
Learn how to develop RESTful APIs using the popular Python frameworks and all the necessary stacks with Python, Django, Flask, and Tornado, combined with related libraries and tools. We will dive deep into each of these frameworks to build various web services, and will provide use cases and best practices on when to use a particular framework to get the best results.
We will show you everything required to successfully develop RESTful APIs with the four frameworks such as request handling, URL mapping, serialization, validation, authentication, authorization, versioning, ORMs, databases, custom code for models and views, and asynchronous callbacks. At the end of each framework, we will add authentication and security to the RESTful APIs and prepare tests for it.
By the end of the book, you will have a deep understanding of the stacks needed to build RESTful web services.
