#Django folks,

What would you recommend for serializing data from models into method calls to an API client?

I don't have any API endpoints (nor plan to for the foreseeable future - HTMX FTW)

I'm thinking Pydantic but are there others I should look at?

@carlton question about neapolitan and django-template-partials.

Do you normally have a single template and then load in different areas (list, detail, forms) via different partials?

I feel that specifying different partial names based on template will get complex quickly.

TIA

Xterm from the #Django Discord created this. I've linked to an example I created which will show the queries run when using `update_or_create()`

Please see the About page too, you're asked to be gentle and not cause harm with this.
