I have an existing website written in PHP. I would like to add a REST API. I like how easy creating a RESTful API was using Django. Are there any CONS for using Django for the sole purpose of creating an API on a PHP powered website? Thanks in advance.

    There are a couple of cons:

    • your codebase will be larger
    • every change in the data model on one side must be done on the other side aswell
    • it will require more resources from your server
    • you have 2 systems to maintain

    But for the rest, I can see why it would be easier to do this with Django than it would be to do with a plain PHP API. I have my doubts that there are no PHP libraries available to do something similar though.
