pydantic-core VS django-ninja

Funny that you ask... https://github.com/pydantic/pydantic-core Unfortunately it seems that the functionality you ask for is not (yet) part of this ...

I encourage you to checkout the official benchmarks for more realistic and detailed examples, and, as always, YMMV.

This isn't really how writing rust/python iterop works. You tend to have opaque handles you call python methods on. Here's a decent example I found skimming the code.

Thanks for pointing out to that, I did not know about it. Also attaching repo in case someone would be interested as well - https://github.com/pydantic/pydantic-core

pydantic-core: The core validation logic for pydantic, a Python data parsing and validation library.

pydandic-core [0] will hopefully solve this issue (written in Rust)

LinkedIn influencers are weird lol. Rust v Python is apples and oranges. Rust would be glued together by python just like it does with C/C++ and Java/Spark today. We’re already seeing some packages go this direction, like pydantic v2 is rewriting its core validation in rust.

Django Ninja [1], it forever changed how I write Django project, in a way so elegant and productive.

Django Ninja is a RESTful wrapper for Django, while UtilMeta Python Framework uses a more concise declarative ORM Schema for Django and other future-supporting ORMs like sqlachemy and Peewee to build RESTful APIs more efficiently, and supports not only Django but all Python mainstream frameworks like Django, Flask, Starlette, FastAPI, Sanic, Tornado, etc.

I can't recommend [django-ninja](https://github.com/vitalik/django-ninja) enough. It's an easy to use, extremely fast, typed API for django. I've found it to be better in almost all aspects when compared to djangorestframework.

It's gaining popularity but is still widely unknown.

This is not a bad thing. Using Django as an API backend is amazingly fast in terms of development time, especially with modern frameworks such as django-ninja [1].

Just use the built-in ORM to create models, write your endpoints, and use the built-in admin interface to play with the database if you don't have endpoints for everything.

There is also a less known feature of Django called admindocs [2], which automatically generates a human readable, hyperlinked documentation for your models and relations between them.

Personally, I also prefer django-ninja to DRF.

Actually that's not fully true. If you mix async and sync codes in django-ninja there will be some errors. Where's the proof ? django-ninja doesn't support async auth

Also recommend Django-Ninja. It basically reimplements fastapi's type and decorator-based API construction, but embedded directly in django so you have access to django's ORM and middleware library.
