Summary

In this chapter, we studied the conceptual underpinnings of a RESTful API and why we do not have to strictly adhere to all of it. We also looked at the DRF and a very simple example of an API endpoint created using it.

In the next chapter, we will take a look at a systematic approach to working with a legacy Django code base and how we can enhance it to meet evolving client needs.
