Django is an open-source web framework written in Python, used for rapid web application development. It was originally developed in 2005 by Adrian Holovaty and Simon Willison and has since become one of the most popular and widely adopted web frameworks.
Django follows the Model-View-Template (MVT) pattern, which has a similar structure to the Model-View-Controller (MVC) pattern. It provides a comprehensive set of tools and features that assist developers in quickly building and scaling web applications.
Some of the key features of Django are:
Database Access: Django includes a built-in Object-Relational Mapping (ORM) that facilitates database access. Developers can write database queries in Python code without directly using SQL.
URL Routing: Django offers a powerful URL routing system that maps URLs to views, controlling user requests.
Template Engine: Django uses a simple and powerful template engine, allowing developers to create reusable and dynamic HTML templates.
Forms and Validation: It provides an abstraction layer for handling forms and validating user inputs.
Authentication and Security: Django includes features for implementing user authentication and security mechanisms, such as protection against Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) and Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF).
Admin Interface: Django comes with a built-in admin interface that allows developers to easily create an admin interface for their applications to perform CRUD (Create, Read, Update, Delete) operations on data models.
Django is known for its user-friendliness, well-structured documentation, and an active developer community that continually contributes new features and extensions. It is commonly used for developing content management systems (CMS), social networks, e-commerce websites, and other complex web applications.
