Just curious if someone could give the tldr version of this vs graphql. I'm familiar with django, but not the rest framework, and have a basic understanding of graphql but am not really sure how they compare.
This has very little to do with graphql. The DRF is to get a solid json api up and running quickly. The standard it ships with conforms to the http://jsonapi.org/ spec. Which came mostly from the Rails community and many projects built in different stacks conform to.
You could totally add a graphql endpoint to any api `/graphql?[your GQL query here]`. We're currently exploring adding that to our Django/DRF backend with one of these https://github.com/chentsulin/awesome-graphql#lib-py
