doccano VS django-rest-framework

Huh?

I wrote my own system for classifying a stream of texts in Python, I might Open Source it one of these days but I have to get it to the point where it is modular enough that I can customize it to do the particular things I want without subjecting people to my whims... I use it every day and I'm not afraid to demo it because it is rock solid.

My understanding is that my system would not be hard to adapt to work on images for certain kinds of tasks.

Pytorch is open source, Huggingface is open source. CUDA isn't. This is

and for annotating text spans there are so many open source tools

I worked for a company a few years back that built annotation tools for projects we sold to customers but never quite got to a polished general purpose annotator. Today there are an overwhelming number of companies in this space and products I never heard of, many of which are cloud based or paid. Looks like a gold rush to me.

- Django Rest Framework has no async support? https://github.com/encode/django-rest-framework/issues/7260

A URL shortener is a service that transforms long and complex URLs into short, easily memorable ones. This tutorial guides you through creating a URL shortener using Django REST framework and Postgres, deploying it on Koyeb.

Now, I'm converting this app into a Vue-based SPA (still powered by Django). I'm using the Django REST Framework to build the API that the SPA will interact with. (I'll be using token-based auth, via django-rest-knox. ETA: I'll actually be using djangorestframework-simplejwt.)

For the backend, we chose Python, Django Rest Framework. On the frontend, React, Redux, Saga, Sass. Let’s start with the backend, which was managed by Yegor. He writes about the server part of the project himself.

With regard to JSON API aspects of Django, have you used https://www.django-rest-framework.org/ ? I find it to be very satisfactory.

Django REST Framework (DRF) Django REST Framework is a famous, powerful, and flexible toolkit for building Web APIs in Django. It provides a set of reusable components and tools to simplify API development, including serialization, authentication, permissions, and view sets.

I wish Django would take async more seriously. This comment gives a pretty good overview of the current situation (some points are more valid than others): https://github.com/encode/django-rest-framework/discussions/...

The Python ecosystem is strange. Where other dev communities will embrace new ways of doing things faster than most people can keep up — the Python community needs to be pulled kicking and screaming into the light once ever decade or so. Python 2 to 3, ~10 years.

async/await has been in Python since 2015, it feels like it's going to be another 5 years before we see people taking async seriously in the big packages. Same problem we had during the 2/3 transition. No library support, no developer support.

Thanks for helping Steve to complete his REST API, he is now partying🥳. You can get more information on how to use the Django REST framework to best way read the documentation. There are many alternatives to the Django REST framework, you can give them a try if you want,

[Django Rest Framework](https://www.django-rest-framework.org/) has the very nice idea of a [ViewSet](https://www.django-rest-framework.org/api-guide/viewsets/#modelviewset) that allows really minimal code to perform all the basic CRUD actions on a model.
