Django is a web application development framework built in Python.
Django is often referred to as a "batteries included" framework. What that means is that while the key components of a web framework are routing requests, and returning appropriate responses through the web server, Django includes a whole lot more, including an ORM to interface with various databases, a caching layer, a templating system and more.
While there are advantages and disadvantages to using all the builtin systems, one of the advantages is that it is very quick and easy to get a product off the ground. If necessary, the builtin components can also be easily replaced with custom software or external libraries.
Django is a high-level Python Web framework that encourages rapid development and clean, pragmatic design. Built by experienced developers, it takes care of much of the hassle of Web development, so you can focus on writing your app without needing to reinvent the wheel. It's free and open source.
Django (/ˈdʒæŋɡoʊ/ JANG-goh) is a free and open-source web framework, written in Python, which follows the model-view-template (MVT) architectural pattern. It is maintained by the Django Software Foundation (DSF), an independent organization established as a 501(c)(3) non-profit.
Django's primary goal is to ease the creation of complex, database-driven websites. Django emphasizes reusability and "pluggability" of components, rapid development, and the principle of don't repeat yourself. Python is used throughout, even for settings files and data models. Django also provides an optional administrative create, read, update and delete interface that is generated dynamically through introspection and configured via admin models.
