Should I use DRF or Django Ninja?

DRF is the battle-tested industry standard with massive community support. It is best for massive enterprise apps. Django Ninja is significantly faster, requires half the code, and is perfect for modern microservices or teams already familiar with FastAPI.

Does Ninja work with Django Models?

Yes! While Pydantic usually requires manual schema definitions, Ninja provides `ModelSchema`. It acts exactly like DRF's `ModelSerializer`, automatically generating a Pydantic schema based on your existing Django database columns.

Can Ninja handle Async?

Absolutely. Django Ninja has first-class support for Python's `async def` views. If you are building high-concurrency endpoints (like a chat application or a proxy to another service), Ninja can handle thousands of simultaneous connections efficiently.
