In the previous chapters, we went through different types of views to develop APIs using DRF. These traditional views offer fine-grained control over each HTTP method (GET, POST, PUT, DELETE, etc.). This level of control is beneficial when you need to implement complex and custom logic for specific actions. They allow you to define custom URL patterns and endpoints, giving you the flexibility to create API routes that match your project’s requirements precisely. When your API needs to perform actions that don’t fit the standard CRUD operations, traditional views are a better choice. You can define custom actions with descriptive names.
