Why Tastypie?
-------------

* Makes sense
* Well-tested
* HATEOAS
* Good features and support, fits well into existing ORM thinking
* Totally extensible
* Works well with Javascript
* Cool stuff is coming out of the community

Why **not** Tastypie?
---------------------

* You know better than your users (functional API instead of REST API)
* RESTish is enough

Serialization Methods
---------------------

* JSON
* XML
* YAML
* Binary plist

Authentication Classes
----------------------

* NO-OP
* API key
* HTTP Basic Auth & Digest

Authorization Classes
---------------------

* ReadOnly
* Default Authorized
* Django Authorization

It's Python, class-based, extensible.
