Thank you for pointing that out. I generally stick to as much plain vanilla Django as possible. This may be dimwitted of me but I currently return a jsonresponse dict as my ‘api.’ In my forms I’ve added a noun that allows me to specify httpresponse or jsonresponse and a verb to specify the crud function.
It’s like a lightweight DRF that’s only for JSON/msgpack and looks more like Django forms. Not a very mature project yet though.
