Django RESTful Web Services

Defining the requirements for our first RESTful Web Service

Imagine a team of developers working on a mobile app for iOS and Android and requires a RESTful Web Service to perform CRUD operations with toys. We definitely don't want to use a mock web service and we don't want to spend time choosing and configuring an ORM (short for Object-Relational Mapping). We want to quickly build a RESTful Web Service and have it ready as soon as possible to start interacting with it in the mobile app.
