A comment on Django Ninja.

Re:Django Ninja by radus on Friday July 09, 2021 @02:42PM (#27787011)
I'm looking into adding some sort of REST API layer to a Django app and I've been reading some negative things about Django Rest Framework (DRF), which is the default choice for this functionality in Django-world. This project is inspired by FastAPI and is potentially a lighter weight alternative to DRF and I'm wondering if HNers have experience with it and/or DRF.

My hunch is that it's probably better to stay with the Django way of doing things (DRF), in spite of the online chatter calling it bloated.

Hello, I'm the author

so at this moment the project is slowly growing (about 10+ companies I know are starting to adopt it )

Main benefits are - OpenAPI spec oriented - lightweigh and 0 intrusion to django-core (basically django-ninja is just a validation/documentation layer for django views) - high performance (some cases can be 2x-100x faster with than DRF)
