    Fast API seems like the other mature framework but it's a pain to make it work with Django from what I read.

    Django Rest Framework seems like the most mature and works great with Django. But its strength, if I understand correctly, is for auto-creating all the necessary endpoints for manipulating models, which might be useful for data entry applications. I know that it's super flexible and probably my use case will be covered, but it seems that this it might get complicated.

    Django Ninja is the new player in town, quite flexible, lightweight, and covers my use case, but not sure is mature enough or how long it will be supported.
