can this app vend a REST api? #209

Does django provide an easy way to publish data via REST web services? If it did, that would be great. If not, would it make sense to suggest this as another project, as opposed to an issue in this one?

There are steps in this direction now with tastypie here

FWIW, Django REST Framework seems to be the new darling for build REST APIs in Django. It even comes with a web interface a la the Django Admin to test queries.

I've historically used Django Tastypie for APIs but would probably use Django REST for new projects.
