Accepted answer
APIView classes are different from regular View classes in the following ways: Requests passed to the handler methods will be REST framework's Request instances, not Django's HttpRequest instances. A viewset is a way to combine the logic for multiple related views into a single class

HI,
In simple term:
Viewsets and APIView both allow us to write logic for end point but Viewsets dont define functions which map to HTTP methods instead map to common API object actions.

Hi Shivakumar,
I hope this link will help you to understand a lot...

APIView allow us to define functions that match standard HTTP methods like GET, POST, PUT, PATCH, etc.
Viewsets allow us to define functions that match to common API object actions like : LIST, CREATE, RETRIEVE, UPDATE, etc.
