How to execute logic without saving to Django Django REST framework DB?

Question

Django

Please tell me the best way to solve the following:
In DRF we accept a POST request with a file => perform various manipulations with the file, resulting in a regular JSON object => return a response with JSON. The database is not involved in this process.

Answer 1

and what is the problem? read about APIView

Answer 2

Use GenericAPIView
And if you need to just return your json do

from rest_framework.response import Response
....
return Response(data, status=status.HTTP_200_OK)

where data is a dictionary with your data, here you can do without a serializer
