Django
Django simplifies the development of dynamic web applications by providing reusable components, such as an Object-Relational Mapping (ORM) system, routing, and templating, all built-in. It utilizes Python code to define data models, manage HTTP requests, and render HTML templates. Designed with security as a priority, Django protects against common vulnerabilities such as SQL injection, Cross-Site Scripting (XSS), and Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF) by default.
The framework's "batteries included" approach comes with essential features like built-in admin tools, user authentication, and form handling, which accelerates the development process. Django powers complex websites and platforms, including Instagram, Pinterest, and Mozilla. Its notable scalability and maintainability make it a suitable choice for both startups and large enterprises.
Developers value Django for its strong community support, extensive documentation, and clean syntax. First released in July 2005, Django continues to evolve with contributions from a worldwide open-source community. It is particularly well-suited for content management systems (CMS), e-commerce sites, APIs, and any application driven by a database.
