Django overview

Django is a framework consisting of a set of components that solve common web development problems. Django components are loosely coupled, which means they can be managed independently. This helps separate the responsibilities of the different layers of the framework; the database layer knows nothing about how the data is displayed, the template system knows nothing about web requests, and so on.

Django offers maximum code reusability by following the DRY (don’t repeat yourself) principle. Django also fosters rapid development and allows you to use less code by taking advantage of Python’s dynamic capabilities, such as introspection.

You can read more about Django’s design philosophies at https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/4.1/misc/design-philosophies/.
