How does this skill handle API documentation?

It implements automated OpenAPI (Swagger) documentation. For Django Ninja, this is built-in; for DRF, it guides the use of drf-spectacular to ensure your API is always well-documented.

Should I use Django Ninja or Django REST Framework for my project?

Django Ninja is recommended for most new projects in 2025 due to its native async support and type safety. Django REST Framework (DRF) is better suited for complex applications requiring a mature ecosystem of third-party plugins.

Does this skill support asynchronous programming in Django?

Yes, the skill provides specific patterns for implementing async endpoints, including how to correctly wrap Django ORM calls with sync_to_async to prevent blocking the event loop.

Can this skill help optimize database performance?

Absolutely. It focuses on identifying and fixing N+1 query issues using select_related and prefetch_related, which is critical for maintaining fast API response times as your data scales.
