           wq.db
        
        `wq.db <http://wq.io/wq.db>`_ is a collection of Python modules for
        building robust, flexible schemas and REST APIs for use in field data
        collection apps and (more generally) progressively enhanced mobile-first
        websites. wq.db is the backend component of `wq <http://wq.io>`_ and is
        geared primarily for use with `wq.app <http://wq.io/wq.app>`_, though it
        can be used separately. wq.db is built on the
        `Django <https://www.djangoproject.com/>`_ platform.
        
        Getting Started
        ---------------
        
        ::
        
            pip install wq.db
            # Or, if using together with wq.app and/or wq.io
            pip install wq
        
        See `the documentation <http://wq.io/docs/>`_ for more information.
        See https://github.com/wq/wq.db to fork wq.db or report any issues.
        
        Features
        --------
        
        wq.db has two primary components: a REST API generator
        (`wq.db.rest <http://wq.io/docs/rest>`_) and a collection of schema
        design patterns (`wq.db.patterns <http://wq.io/docs/about-patterns>`_)
        that facilitate flexible database layouts.
        
        `wq.db.rest <http://wq.io/docs/rest>`_
        ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
        
        Extends the excellent `Django Rest
        Framework <http://django-rest-framework.org>`_ with a collection of
        views, serializers, and context processors useful for creating a
        progresively enhanced website that serves as its own mobile app and its
        own REST API. The core of the library (app.py) includes an admin-style
        ``autodiscover()`` that automatically routes REST urls to installed
        models, and provides a descriptive JSON configuration object for
        consumption by `wq.app's client-side
        router <http://wq.io/docs/app-js>`_. wq.db.rest also includes a
        CRS-aware GeoJSON serializer and renderer.
        
        `wq.db.patterns <http://wq.io/docs/about-patterns>`_
        ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
        
        A collection of recommended design patterns
        (`annotate <http://wq.io/docs/annotate>`_,
        `identify <http://wq.io/docs/identify>`_,
        `locate <http://wq.io/docs/locate>`_, and
        `relate <http://wq.io/docs/relate>`_) that provide long-term flexibility
        and sustainability for data collection systems. These patterns are
        implemented as installable Django apps.
        
        Batteries Included
        ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
        
        Like Django itself, wq.db includes a ``contrib`` module that provides
        additional functionality not considered to be part of the "core"
        library.
        
        `files <http://wq.io/docs/files>`_
        ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
        
        Generic file manager. Supports using the same ``FileField`` for both
        images and files. Also includes a URL-driven thumbnail generator.
        
        `vera <http://wq.io/vera>`_
        ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
        
        Reference implementation of the ERAV model, an extention to EAV with
        support for maintaining multiple versions of an entity.
