Sideload JSON API resources in Django

I’m a big proponent of using a framework to reduce the time required to make something useful. Occasionally, using a framework means that developers must explore to understand what is possible. This truth is even more evident when there are layers of extensions to achieve a desired result. For instance, College Conductor is driving an EmberJS app with a JSON API powered by Django. The API uses the excellent Django REST Framework and the DRF JSON API extension.
