What is Django?

Django is a Python-based web framework for model-template-view (MTV) based architectural patterns. It's open-source and is maintained by the Django Software Foundation. Django provides an easier path for developers to produce database-driven websites. It shortens web development through reusability and the principle of "don't repeat yourself." Django is used for a variety of database-intensive sites, including Instagram and Nextdoor. It produces dynamic websites using less code with pluggable components and is maintained on Github. Source code and Django documentation are widely distributed, and the project is always evolving.
