Working with wrappers to write API views
Our code in the games_service/games/views.py
file declared a JSONResponse
class and two function-based views. These functions returned JSONResponse
when it was necessary to return JSON data and a django.Http.Response.HttpResponse
instance when the response was just an HTTP status code. Hence, no matter what the accepted content type that's specified in the HTTP request header, the view functions always provide the same content in the response body—JSON.
Run the following two commands to retrieve all the games with different values for the Accept
request header: text/html
and application/json
. The code file for the sample is included in the restful_python_2_06_01
folder, in the Django01/cmd/cmd601.txt
file:
http -v ":8000/games/" "Accept:text/html"http -v ":8000/games/" "Accept:application/json"
The following are the equivalent curl
commands. The code file for the sample is included in the restful_python_2_06_01
folder, in the Django01/cmd/cmd602.txt...
