should we consider dropping imago? #82

are others using imago?

I don't think we're likely to use this for Open States' new API, in large part b/c this is based on https://github.com/dobarkod/django-restless which hasn't seen an update in ~2 years. (we went down this road w/ django-piston, leading to a fair amount of regret)

Probably about equally feature-complete I have https://github.com/openstates/ocd-jsonapi/ which is based on django-rest-framework (a well supported & maintained library) and which is compatible with the http://jsonapi.org/ spec. I'm not sure if we'll go that route either but I figured I'd mention it as an option.

(I'm also somewhat interested in exploring something GraphQL inspired for Open States API v2, if that is of interest to anyone else)

We are using imago, but don't have a great deal of affection for it.

I don't use imago. We could probably lighten some docs at http://docs.opencivicdata.org/ if we drop it.
