JSON:API support for Django REST framework
Overview
JSON:API support for Django REST framework
By default, Django REST framework will produce a response like:
{
"count": 20,
"next": "http://example.com/api/1.0/identities/?page=3",
"previous": "http://example.com/api/1.0/identities/?page=1",
"results": [{
"id": 3,
"username": "john",
"full_name": "John Coltrane"
}]
}
However, for an identity model in JSON:API format the response should look like the following:
{
"links": {
"prev": "http://example.com/api/1.0/identities",
"self": "http://example.com/api/1.0/identities?page=2",
"next": "http://example.com/api/1.0/identities?page=3",
},
"data": [{
"type": "identities",
"id": "3",
"attributes": {
"username": "john",
"full-name": "John Coltrane"
}
}],
"meta": {
"pagination": {
"count": 20
}
}
}
