Assignment 3: Forms and Data Delivery Implementation in Django

Platform-Based Programming (CSGE602022) — Organized by the Faculty of Computer Science Universitas Indonesia, Odd Semester 2024/2025

Assignment Description​

In this assignment, you have to implement the data delivery concept and apply several concepts learned in the tutorial.

Checklists for this assignment are:

  • Create a form input to add a model object to the previous app.
  • Add 4 views to view the added objects in XML, JSON, XML by ID, and JSON by ID formats.
  • Create URL routing for each of the views added in point 2.
  • Answer the following questions in README.md in the root folder.
    • Explain why we need data delivery in implementing a platform.
    • In your opinion, which is better, XML or JSON? Why is JSON more popular than XML?
    • Explain the functional usage of is_valid() method in Django forms. Also explain why we need the method in forms.
    • Why do we need csrf_token when creating a form in Django? What could happen if we did not use csrf_token on a Django form? How could this be leveraged by an attacker?
    • Explain how you implemented the checklist above step-by-step (not just following the tutorial).
  • Access the four URLs in point 2 using Postman, take screenshots of the results in Postman, and add them to README.md.
  • Perform add-commit-push to GitHub.

Deadline​

The deadline for Assignment 3 is Wednesday, 18th September, 2024, at 12:00 p.m.
