#2I can only say nice things about Django REST framework, super simple to use and comes with lot of extras. Very interesting the shift towards schemas and RAML; I am quite curious to see how usable that is.

#4For people who are unfamiliar, there is also Tastypie.
I find it's Model centric approach a whole lot nicer to work with then Django-Rest .

#5One metric that I'll measure a framework by is the likelihood of finding an answer to a query that is not articulated in the concepts and terms used by the framework. This is especially useful when starting out.
DRF scores well here. It's designed in an intuitive way. The healthy community around it is a big plus as well. Can't count the number of times I've come across a SO article that had updated answers for the latest versions.
I only wish there was a way to make one time donations. Currently you have to sign up for a recurring plan.

Did not use Tastypie since a couple years ago and I remember it being very hard to use due to be so heavily coupled to Django models. I find DRF support for Django ORM and yet the ease of use when not doing ORM stuff one the main selling points.

Which is basically stupid by itself, as you simply expose your internal data
structures without control or thought.

#9When I started flirting with Ruby and Rails for building a web app backed by a JSON API, DRF is what convinced me to stick with Django. It has a ridiculous amount of built-in functionality, but without making it hard to customize your API. If you haven't used DRF, you really owe it to yourself to give it a try.
I can't wait to see support for real-time views. Is that in the cards for DRF 3.6?

This. I've recently been working with a large project using Node. I find myself constantly thinking about how I'd build it if I were using DRF.
