Djaq provides an instant remote API to your Django models data with a highly expressive query language. It requires almost no configuration.

It's for getting started immediately with remote access to data on your Django application using a natural, Python-like query language that can be used from any client.

I'm a fan of django but have been looking for an alternative to DRF. I'll give this a try - thank you for developing this. Looks interesting!

It’s like a lightweight DRF that’s only for JSON/msgpack and looks more like Django forms. Not a very mature project yet though.

Thank you for pointing that out. I generally stick to as much plain vanilla Django as possible. This may be dimwitted of me but I currently return a jsonresponse dict as my ‘api.’ In my forms I’ve added a noun that allows me to specify httpresponse or jsonresponse and a verb to specify the crud function.
