Project Description

An API (application programming interface) allows different programs to communicate/interact with one another. REST is a set of rules that describe how the client and server will communicate with each other. Django REST is one of the most effective and flexible tools for building web APIs. It provides usability, makes authentication easy, and serializes complex data. Swagger UI is a powerful tool for documenting and exploring APIs. It addresses the need for comprehensive documentation and improved communication between developers and API consumers.

In this project, we’ll start with a default Django application and build a REST API in it. After that, we’ll incorporate Swagger UI into our Django-based API.
