Django Framework

Django is a high-level Python web framework that enables the rapid development of secure and maintainable websites. It follows a "batteries-included" philosophy, providing a vast toolkit of pre-built components—such as an object-relational mapper (ORM) for database interaction, a robust templating system, and an automatic administrative interface—to handle common web development tasks. By enforcing the Model-View-Template (MVT) architectural pattern, Django promotes a clean separation of concerns and encourages reusable code, allowing developers to build complex, database-driven applications efficiently without having to reinvent the wheel.
