Component
Which areas/modules does this package relate too? For example: parsing/rendering. authentication. routing/viewsets. ● Try to list only the *primary* component. ● Stick to reusing existing component strings where possible. ● Use lowercase strings, with multiple components being newline separated. ● If the package is a general purpose set of utilities choose 'various', if it is a tool choose 'tooling', if it is a higher level abstraction choose 'framework'. Please do not add new features to this grid without first raising on the django-rest-framework discussion group.
