Instead of flat URLs like /domains/ and /nameservers/, it generates hierarchical URLs like /domains/{domain_pk}/nameservers/{pk}, where the nameserver is always accessed in the context of its parent domain. This is essential for building truly RESTful APIs where resource relationships are reflected in the URL structure.\n\nThe package provides NestedSimpleRouter and NestedDefaultRouter classes that chain off parent routers, plus optional serializer fields for building hyperlinks in nested contexts. It supports arbitrary nesting depth\u2014you can nest routers multiple levels deep\u2014and works with both Django ORM-based viewsets and custom ViewSet implementations. The package is lightweight, requires no Django app registration, and integrates directly into your URL configuration.","worth_installing":"Yes. The package is actively maintained (last commit 2026-08-10), has no known vulnerabilities, low install friction, and solves a genuine problem in REST API design. It is production-stable and widely used (top 5000 PyPI packages). Install it if you need to build hierarchical REST APIs with Django and Django REST Framework without manual routing logic."},"id":"drf-nested-routers","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/drf-nested-routers","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/drf-nested-routers.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/drf-nested-routers/"},"maintenance":{"status":"active"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2026-07-31","license_spdx":null,"license_treatment":"permissive","name":"drf-nested-routers","python_support":"supports_current","summary":"Nested resources for the Django Rest Framework"},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":2158642,"position":3244,"tier":"top_5000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"0.95.3"}
