[Query] Is there any plan to integrate protobuf into django rest?

[akhilputhiry]

Similar to JSON is there any plan to include protobuf? JSON seems to very bulky and protobuf seems to very lean. May be we can generate the .proto file from django models or serializer and use it to generate protobuf? I am interested in working on this idea. But I need some mentors? What do you think.

None I'm aware of.
The best way to get it working would be to create a 3rd party at first. Mailing list or IRC would be a good way to communicate.

Even though this is closed, it seems like a cool project. Certainly sounds possible to generate a schema!

@akhilputhiry i'm interested in this idea too.
please share links if you created some 3rd party or something.

Also, think about adding it to the 3rd party resource page on Django REST framework - as well as the parser/renderer pages - and annonce it on the mailing lists :)
