Instead of forcing a single serializer to handle both input validation and output representation, you can optimize each independently\u2014for example, using a lightweight serializer for writes and a richer one for reads with nested relationships or computed fields.\n\nThe package provides drop-in replacements for djangorestframework's generic views, viewsets, and mixins that automatically route requests to your read_serializer_class or write_serializer_class as appropriate. It has a single runtime dependency on djangorestframework and supports Python 3.8, 3.9, 3.10, 3.11, and 3.12. The codebase is stable but aging, with the last release 799 days ago; however, the repository remains maintained with recent commits.","worth_installing":"Yes, if you are building a djangorestframework API and need different serialization schemas for requests and responses. The package is straightforward to integrate, has low install friction, and solves a real architectural problem. However, note that maintenance is aging\u2014the last release was 799 days ago\u2014so verify compatibility with your current djangorestframework and Django versions before adopting."},"id":"drf-rw-serializers","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/drf-rw-serializers","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/drf-rw-serializers.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/drf-rw-serializers/"},"maintenance":{"status":"aging"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2024-06-06","license_spdx":null,"license_treatment":"permissive","name":"drf-rw-serializers","python_support":"supports_current","summary":"Generic views, viewsets and mixins that extend the Django REST Framework ones adding separated serializers for read and write operations"},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":74870,"position":14780,"tier":"top_15000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"1.4.0"}
