title: Using Django along with Flask
body: <hr>
  
  <h2>Situation:</h2>
  
  <p>I am tentatively considering a situation to use Django to </p>
  
  <ol>
  <li>serve HTML (by Django's template)</li>
  <li>serve all the static files like CSS, JS from the Django project</li>
  </ol>
  
  <p>and my intent to use Django stops here. After the javascript files are downloaded to client side, they communicates with a Flask backend with RESTful API (the Ajax way).</p>
  
  <hr>
  
  <h2>Why two frameworks? And why in this way?</h2>
  
  <p>The frontend guy of this project I am working with knows Django very well, and I think I mainly want to use his CSS / HTML template / jquery skill.</p>
  
  <p>I want to have an independent API server and I feel Flask is an ideal option for my need (from building API service perspective).</p>
  
  <p>I guess people would suggest "why not ask the Django guy use Jinga2 for templating?" (in that way, we can do away with Django) I guess my current answer would be: I don't want him to invest too much time (to learn)</p>
  
  <p>I guess people would suggest "why not use Django to serve the Restful API call?" (in that way, we can do away with Flask) I guess my current answer would be: I (as the person implementing API logic) like Flask.</p>

  <h2>My question</h2>
  
  <p>Short one: is this doable? or does this sound a crazy idea?</p>
  
  <p>Long one: Can you kindly give some guidance?</p>
  
  <p>Thanks,</p>
