title: Adding REST to Django
body: <p>I've got a Django application that works nicely.  I'm adding REST services.  I'm looking for some additional input on my REST strategy.  </p>
  
  <p>Here are some examples of things I'm wringing my hands over.</p>
  
  <ul>
  <li>Right now, I'm using the Django-REST API with a pile of patches.  </li>
  <li>I'm thinking of falling back to simply writing view functions in Django that return JSON results.</li>
  <li>I can also see filtering the REST requests in Apache and routing them to a separate, non-Django server instance.</li>
  </ul>
  
  <p>Please nominate one approach per answer so we can vote them up or down.</p>
