Hi Petr, all, I managed to find some time to look into your PR (updated link: https://github.com/django/django/pull/5297) and the related issue: https://code.djangoproject.com/ticket/8936 . Also, related discussion: https://groups.google.com/d/topic/django-developers/rZ5Pt9R94d4/discussion and issues: https://code.djangoproject.com/ticket/820 and https://code.djangoproject.com/ticket/17295
First of all, thank you for your your contribution and persistence. I think Django should provide an easy way to get a read-only view of your data in the database. However, I don't really like the integration into contrib.admin . As it stands now, people commonly use the admin as a front end for their employees instead of building a proper process-oriented interface. This may work to some degree but it's not uncommon that developers need to fiddle with the internals of the admin to make specific things work. Adding a read-only view to the admin would encourage people even more to use the admin for reasons where they shouldn't. I'd prefer an approach on a different level where Django gains a proper (de)serialization implementation. The implementation would e.g. leverage content negotiation to define the output, e.g. JSON, XML, HTML, etc. What I'm pretty much saying is, I'd rather see a proper django.rest (or whatever we wanna call it) instead of a feature on top of the convoluted admin which provides only half of what people probably want and use.
