Re: Questions about Django suitability

Thanks for all your suggestions - looking over JSON it seems a much more straightforward and lightweight thing to deal with than XML, especially since it's so much closer to straight Python dictionaries (which I'm more than used to). To be honest, I had no real love of XML, but it seemed to be the

Re: Questions about Django suitability

You could do this in Django. Creating and editing the XML in JavaScript sounds like masochism. Why not just use Python? I agree with Brice's comment -- can you make things easier on yourself and use JSON instead of XML? Also, if you can use JSON, you might have a natural fit using MongoDB,

Re: Questions about Django suitability

First you should consider JSON instead of xml: - Django can serialize every object in json - JSon is an object in javascript. so it should be easier to deal with data this way. 2010/2/9 Dasleah : > Hey all, > > Long-ago webhead here who hasn't touched much of anything since

Questions about Django suitability

Hey all, Long-ago webhead here who hasn't touched much of anything since Javascript was a dirty word and PHP was the be-all and end-all (but I've managed a bit of Python experience) I just have a few questions about whether or not Django was right for a project I'm thinking of and hopefully

Re: Django Suitability

Matt, I feel your pain. It's probably not best on the Django forum to say this but: 1. Any modern framework is fine (Cake/PHP, Django/Python, Merb/Ruby, etc...) 2. Use a framework of some sort (don't just roll with 'Java' without some sort of web-specific framework for your needs) 3. Any real

Re: Django Suitability

I don't know much about the Java frameworks. Could you expound? It is interesting to me because Servoy is a Java framework which claims to allow a desktop client or web client with the same codebase. I can't really find anyone who is using it for a public-facing website, however. > Those

Django Suitability

Hi all, I am being considered for a project that would involve re-writing an application which is currently in MS Access/VBA. The application is an order entry/shop management software for a small vertical market. I am strongly in favor of using Django for the project and one of the principles is
