我们以在Django框架中使用的图书英雄案例来写一套支持图书数据增删改查的REST API接口，来理解REST API的开发。【此处的model.py中内容，详见Django框架栏目中设置的内容】

在此案例中，前后端均发送JSON格式数据。

测试

使用Postman测试上述接口

1） 获取所有图书数据

GET 方式访问 http://127.0.0.1:8000/books/， 返回状态码200，数据如下

[
    {
        "id": 1,
        "btitle": "射雕英雄传",
        "bpub_date": "1980-05-01",
        "bread": 12,
        "bcomment": 34,
        "image": ""
    },
    {
        "id": 2,
        "btitle": "天龙八部",
        "bpub_date": "1986-07-24",
        "bread": 36,
        "bcomment": 40,
        "image": ""
    },
    {
        "id": 3,
        "btitle": "笑傲江湖",
        "bpub_date": "1995-12-24",
        "bread": 20,
        "bcomment": 80,
        "image": ""
    },
    {
        "id": 4,
        "btitle": "雪山飞狐",
        "bpub_date": "1987-11-11",
        "bread": 58,
        "bcomment": 24,
        "image": ""
    },
    {
        "id": 5,
        "btitle": "西游记",
        "bpub_date": "1988-01-01",
        "bread": 10,
        "bcomment": 10,
        "image": "booktest/xiyouji.png"
    },
    {
        "id": 6,
        "btitle": "水浒传",
        "bpub_date": "1992-01-01",
        "bread": 10,
        "bcomment": 11,

    },
    {
        "id": 7,
        "btitle": "红楼梦",

2）获取单一图书数据

GET 访问 http://127.0.0.1:8000/books/5/ ，返回状态码200， 数据如下

    "id": 5,
    "btitle": "西游记",
    "bpub_date": "1988-01-01",
    "bread": 10,
    "bcomment": 10,
    "image": "booktest/xiyouji.png"
}

GET 访问http://127.0.0.1:8000/books/100/，返回状态码404

3）新增图书数据

POST 访问http://127.0.0.1:8000/books/，发送JSON数据：

    "btitle": "三国演义",
    "bpub_date": "1990-02-03"
}

返回状态码201，数据如下

{
    "btitle": "三国演义（第二版）",
    "bpub_date": "1990-02-03"
}

返回状态码200，数据如下

{
    "id": 8,
    "btitle": "三国演义（第二版）",
    "bpub_date": "1990-02-03",
    "bread": 0,
    "bcomment": 0,
