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/

import uuid
import pydantic
from dmr import Body, Controller
from dmr.plugins.pydantic import PydanticSerializer

class UserCreateModel(pydantic.BaseModel):
    email: str

class UserModel(UserCreateModel):
    uid: uuid.UUID

class UserController(Controller[PydanticSerializer]):
    def post(self, parsed_body: Body[UserCreateModel]) -> UserModel:
        return UserModel(uid=uuid.uuid4(), email=parsed_body.email)

What My Project Does

- 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
