To be specific, Rails has better support for providing XML and JSON APIs. One place where it has better support is serialization. In rails, there is an :include parameter to control whether to include objects from associations (e. g. comments in a post), that is available both on to_xml or to_json. I don't see an option for Django that does the same thing.
