There's something absolutely satisfying about successfully wrapping up development and deploying a new web app. After days, weeks and months of careful planning and hard work, it's great to see it all pay off in the end. You're happy, the client's happy, and most importantly, the end-user is happy. But what happens when your client now wants to leverage the web app's success by developing a native iphone or android app? Naturally, you see the need to develop a web service API. But does this mean that you'll have to drastically change the anatomy of your existing web app?If you happen to be working with Django, building a REST'ful API on top of your current system is a breeze with Tastypie. Tastypie is a web service framework for Django, which removes a lot of the boilerplate code needed to build a true REST'ful API, thus allowing you to focus on the more project-specific functionality.The post How to add a REST'ful API to your Django app using Tastypie appeared first on Patchwork Dev.
