It provides async versions of core components\u2014APIView, ViewSet, ModelViewSet, Serializer, and authentication/permission/throttle classes\u2014so you can leverage Python's async ecosystem without abandoning the patterns you already use.\n\nThe package works by extending django and djangorestframework's standard classes to support async handler methods. When you use adrf's router instead of the default router, async CRUD actions on ModelViewSet are automatically mapped to routes. All handler methods in async class-based views must be declared async; function-based views decorated with adrf's @api_view must also be async. This is a migration path for teams running modern Django and wanting to handle I/O-bound operations without blocking the request thread.","worth_installing":"Yes, if you are running Django 4.1+ and want to use async request handlers with django and djangorestframework. The package is actively maintained, has no known vulnerabilities, and low install friction. It is a natural fit for teams already using modern Django and seeking better I/O concurrency. Not necessary if your workload is CPU-bound or you are not yet on Django 4.1."},"id":"adrf","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/adrf","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/adrf.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/adrf/"},"maintenance":{"status":"active"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2026-08-11","license_spdx":null,"license_treatment":"permissive","name":"adrf","python_support":"supports_current","summary":"Async support for Django REST framework"},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":575764,"position":5936,"tier":"top_15000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"0.1.14"}
