Description

Hi, my name is Nikita Sobolev, I am a CPython core dev, Django Software Foundation member, and maintainer of countless Python / Django opensource tools.Now I am happy to present to you my new project.Docs: https://django-modern-rest.rtfd.io/ Code: https://github.com/wemake-services/django-modern-rest/Features:- No AI slop, but built for the LLM era.- Blazingly fast.- Supports Django >= 4.2- Supports `pydantic2`, `msgspec`, `attrs`, `dataclasses`, `TypedDict` as model schemas, but not bound to any of these libraries.- Supports async Django without any `sync_to_async` calls inside, tested to work with free-threading builds.- Fully typed and checked with `mypy`, `pyright`, and `pyrefly` in strict modes.- Supports content negotiation, has default implementations for `json`, `msgpack`, SSE, Json Lines, and more.- Strict schema validation of both requests and responses, including errors.- Supports OpenAPI 3.1 / 3.2 semantic schema generation out of the box.- Supports all your existing `django` primitives and packages, no custom runtimes.- Great testing tools with `schemathesis`, `polyfactory`, `tracecov`, bundled `pytest` plugin, and default Django's testing primitives.- 100% test coverage with 2000+ of carefully designed unit, integration, and property-based tests.- High security standards.- Built by the community for the community, not a single-person project.- Great docs.

Could you build this?

Yes Building a modern REST framework or wrapper on top of Django using dataclasses/Pydantic and type hints is a clean, well-defined library project an AI assistant can scaffold easily.
