How can I create an asynchronous REST API using Django?

To create an asynchronous REST API in Django, you can use Django REST Framework along with Python's async features.

What are the benefits of using async in Django?

Using async allows your API to handle more requests concurrently, improving performance and responsiveness.

Can you provide a simple code example?

Sure! Here's a basic example:

from rest_framework.views import APIView
from rest_framework.response import Response

class AsyncExampleView(APIView):
    async def get(self, request):
        data = await some_async_function()
        return Response(data)

What libraries do I need to install?

You'll need Django, Django REST Framework, and possibly an ASGI server like Daphne or Uvicorn.
