title: Framework for Implementing REST web service in Django
body: <p>I'm looking to implement a RESTful interface for a Django application.  It is primarily a data-service application - the interface will be (at this point) read-only.  </p>
  
  <p>The question is which Django toolsets / frameworks make the most sense for this task.  </p>
  
  <p>I see Django-rest and Django-piston.  There's also the option of rolling my own.</p>
  
  <p>The question was asked here, but a good two years back.  I'd like to know what the current state of play is.  </p>
  
  <p>In <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/308605/adding-rest-to-django-poll">this question</a>, circa 2008, the strong majority vote was to not use any framework at all - just create Django views that reply with e.g. JSON. (The question was also addressed, crica 2008, <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/212941/using-django-rest-interface">here</a>.)</p>
  
  <p>In the current landscape, what makes the most sense?</p>
