A mini-framework for Django for creating RESTful APIs.

Piston is a relatively small Django application that lets you create application programming interfaces (API) for your sites.

It has several unique features:

  • Ties into Django's internal mechanisms.
  • Supports OAuth out of the box (as well as Basic/Digest or custom auth.)
  • Doesn't require tying to models, allowing arbitrary resources.
  • Speaks JSON, YAML, Python Pickle & XML (and HATEOAS.)
  • Ships with a convenient reusable library in Python
  • Respects and encourages proper use of HTTP (status codes, ...)
  • Has built in (optional) form validation (via Django), throttling, etc.
  • Supports streaming, with a small memory footprint.
  • Stays out of your way.

NB: OAuth ships with piston for now, but you are not required to use it. It simply provides some boilerplate in case you want to use it later (consumer/token models, urls, etc.)
