Acquired skills

After studying the basic and intermediate functionality of Django Rest Framework (DRF), the following skills are acquired:

• Building RESTful APIs: Understanding how to construct and structure APIs using DRF, including endpoints, serializers, and views.

• Authentication and Authorization: Implementing authentication systems (JWT, OAuth) and applying access permissions for users and groups.

• Data Serialization: Handling the process of converting Django models to JSON or XML formats, and vice versa, using serializers.

• Data Validation: Implementing both automatic and custom validations in serializers.

• Generic Views: Using generic views for CRUD operations and optimizing repetitive code.

• Handling Relationships: Working with model relationships (ForeignKey, ManyToMany) and serializing them correctly.

• API Versioning: Implementing strategies to handle API versions without breaking compatibility.

• Throttling and Rate Limiting: Controlling the number of requests allowed per user or client.

• API Testing: Writing automated tests to ensure the API works correctly.

• Pagination and Filtering: Implementing pagination, sorting, and filtering on endpoints to improve performance and usability.

These skills allow you to develop robust and secure APIs with DRF.
